The religious body trusted the peasants were excessively insensible, making it impossible to choose for themselves thus revealed to them what to accept by imposing their ideologies on the peasants. Luther had a different point of view concerning these issues. Luther made sure that the bible had other translation as the only ones they had were in latin and only a select few understood latin. Likewise, through the offering of liberalities, the poor were abused by the Catholic church, and Luther tried to free them from this.
