"Writings against the pope
Each of the 95 theses posted in Wittenberg were expressed by a few indignant lines against selling indulgences, these make up Luther’s most famous of writings.
3 quotations:
--They will be forever damned along with those who teach it, those
who believe indulgence letters ensure salvation.
--Christians should be taught that one who sees his neighbor in need, and neglects him to buy indulgences, does not buy the pope’s indulgence but God’s indignation.
--Why does the Pope not erect Saint Peter’s Basilica with his own funds rather than with the money of the poor believers, as he is wealthier nowadays than the wealthiest man ?
The lecture on papacy in Rome and the image of papacy, published in 1545, were the last of Luther’s writings. They were extremely critical. The latter was illustrated with salacious scenes painted by Lucas Cranach, Luther’s friend.
The judgement on monastic vows was published in 1522, three years before Luther left the Augustinian Order. It was a voluminous text against monasticism. It was dedicated to his father who had disapproved of his entering a monastic life in 1505.

Luther considered that his vows were opposed to
--faith,
--evangelical freedom,
--commandments and
--reason.
He particularly criticized the vow of chastity."
