What was a major social change that Martin Luther brought about?

Martin Luther, a scholar and monk, was disenchanted with the Catholic Church. He was frustrated with how the church was corrupt and cared only about making money. He did not feel the church was adequately helping the spiritual needs of its adherents. The major social change that he executed was an attempt at church reform. In actuality, Martin Luther introduced major upheaval in Christianity that resulted in the establishment of a Protestant church.

Martin Luther nailed a list of questions and grievances onto a local church in Germany. His intention was to open a scholarly debate at the local level about the issues he had with church practices. The problem was, his letter was widely publicized and resulted in a movement to separate from the Roman Catholic Church in Germany.
