Biography
Luther's reformation
In 1512, Desiderius Erasmus, a Dutch scholar and the leader of the North European Assassins, began to notice Martin Luther's new views on Christianity and realized that the church would enter a state of chaos. Erasmus wrote a letter to the Italian Assassins' temporary leader Claudia Auditore and informed them all of the young priest.[1]
Excommunication
In 1517, Luther nailed his 95 theses to a church door,[2] and in them, Luther disputed the claim that absolution from sin could be paid for. Pope Leo X excommunicated him and had the man condemned as a heretic.[3] Despite this, Luther was said to have celebrated Mass in Santo Stefano.[4]
