here it is in its context :

Martin Luther (1483-1546)  GERMANY

The Reformation began on Oct. 31, 1517, when German monk Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses to the church door in Wittenberg, Germany.

He led the world in its break for freedom at the end of the Dark Ages.

"I cannot submit my faith either to the Pope or to the Councils, because it is clear as day they have frequently erred and contradicted each other. Unless therefore, I am convinced by the testimony of Scripture . . . I can and will not retract . . . Here I stand, I can do no other. So help me God, Amen!"
