Question: Where is the district that the person who wanted to reform and address the religion that practices altarage preach a sermon on Marian devotion before his death located?

From the low Latin "altaragium" — which signified the revenue reserved for the chaplain (altarist or altar-thane) in contradistinction to the income of the parish priest — it came to signify the fees received by a priest from the laity when discharging any function for them, e.g., at marriages, baptisms, and funerals. It is also known as an "honorarium", "stipend", or "stole-fee". It may also refer to the offering made upon an altar or the endowments for Masses for the deceased. Altarage is a term once commonly used in the Roman Catholic Church. <SEP> Neighboring districts are (from west clockwise) Anhalt-Bitterfeld, the district-free city of Dessau-Roßlau, the districts of Potsdam-Mittelmark, Teltow-Fläming and Elbe-Elster in Brandenburg, and the district of Nordsachsen in the Free State of Saxony. Wittenberg is a district () in the east of Saxony-Anhalt, Germany. <SEP> protestants in general reject the veneration and invocation of the saints. :1174 protestants typically hold that mary was the mother of jesus, but was an ordinary woman devoted to god. therefore, there is virtually no marian veneration, marian feasts, marian pilgrimages, marian art, marian music or marian spirituality in today's protestant communities. within these views, roman catholic beliefs and practices are at times rejected, e.g., theologian karl barth wrote that "the heresy of the catholic church is its mariology". <SEP> radulphe (also spelled radulph, rodolphe, etc.) was a french monk who, without permission from his superiors, left his monastery in france and travelled to the rhine valley during the second crusade (1147–49) where he preached "that the jews should be slain as the enemies of the christian religion." <SEP> Despite Martin Luther's harsh polemics against his Roman Catholic opponents over issues concerning Mary and the saints, theologians appear to agree that Luther adhered to the Marian decrees of the ecumenical councils and dogmas of the church. He held fast to the belief that Mary was a perpetual virgin and the Theotokos or Mother of God. Special attention is given to the assertion that Luther, some three-hundred years before the dogmatization of the Immaculate Conception by Pope Pius IX in 1854, was a firm adherent of that view. His final thoughts on Marian devotion and veneration are preserved in a sermon preached at Wittenberg only a month before his death: Others maintain that Luther in later years changed his position on the Immaculate Conception, which, at that time was undefined in the Church, maintaining however the sinlessness of Mary throughout her life. For Luther, early in his life, the Assumption of Mary was an understood fact, although he later stated that the Bible did not say anything about it and stopped celebrating its feast. Important to him was the belief that Mary and the saints do live on after death. "Throughout his career as a priest-professor-reformer, Luther preached, taught, and argued about the veneration of Mary with a verbosity that ranged from childlike piety to sophisticated polemics. His views are intimately linked to his Christocentric theology and its consequences for liturgy and piety." Luther, while revering Mary, came to criticize the "Papists" for blurring the line, between high admiration of the grace of God wherever it is seen in a human being, and religious service given to another creature. He considered the Roman Catholic practice of celebrating saints' days and making intercessory requests addressed especially to Mary and other departed saints to be idolatry. <SEP> Luther began by criticising the sale of indulgences, insisting that the Pope had no authority over purgatory and that the Catholic doctrine of the merits of the saints had no foundation in the Bible. The Protestant Reformation, however, would come to incorporate doctrinal changes such as a complete reliance on Scripture as a source of proper belief (sola scriptura) and the belief that faith in Jesus, and not good works, is the only way to obtain God's pardon for sin (sola fide). Although there had been significant earlier attempts to reform the Catholic Church before Luther -- such as those of Jan Hus, Peter Waldo, and John Wycliffe -- Martin Luther is widely acknowledged to have started the Reformation with the Ninety - five Theses. The core motivation behind these changes was theological, though many other factors played a part, including the rise of nationalism, the Western Schism that eroded loyalty to the Papacy, the perceived corruption of the Roman Curia, the impact of humanism, and the new learning of the Renaissance that questioned much traditional thought.
