The Reformation had changed everything. Everyone wanted to know how this change came about. So when asked to explain the movement that shook the world, the Reformer Martin Luther said this,
"I simply taught, preached, wrote God's Word: otherwise I did nothing. And then, while I slept ... the Word so greatly weakened the papacy that never a prince or emperor did such damage to it. I did nothing: the Word did it all. Had I wanted to start trouble.... I could have started such a little game at Worms that even the emperor wouldn't have been safe. But what would it have been? A mug's game. I did nothing: I left it to the Word."
