Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
The Ninety-Five Theses were written by Christian reformer Martin Luther and published in 1517. He criticised many Roman Catholic rituals and traditions in this thesis. Moreover, a printed copy was affixed to a church door in Wittenberg. It invited the Church to debate his points of view. The books of Luther were immediately widely read and widely copied. As a result, the Church became divided, signalling the beginning of the Protestant Reformation.
Hence the correct statement would be that Martin Luther wrote the famous Ninety-Five Theses in 1517, which initiated the Protestant Reformation in Europe.
