One of these things was indulgences, an indulgence is basically where you can pay money to get rid of your sins. The other thing was that the bible wasn't said in the vernacular (common language) and the mass want spoken in the vernacular, so nobody could understand what was going on.

Martin Luther started to question the Pope's power so he wrote a list of 95 things wrong with the Catholic church called The 95 Theses. Because of this Luther was kicked out of the Catholic Church, and created Lutherism.

The Holy Land was important to different people for different reasons. For the Catholics it was the place Jesus was crucified and they did not want other religions worshipping there. For the Muslims it was the place Muhammad ascended into heaven, and like the Catholics they wanted it for themselves. In 1099 the two religions went at war and this war was called the crusades.
