Before the reformation the abuses of the Catholic Church were: # Simony # Absenteeism # Nepotism # Pluralism # Tithe # Indulgences Now the Church's controversy is about sexual abuses, the lack of women as priests and homosexuality in the clergy.

∙ 11y agoSorry, abuses in the Church did NOT lead to criticism. Abuses in individuals' lives led them to criticize the Church's call to reform their lives and lead moral and upright lives. Every single one of the "reformers" disagree with Jesus Christ's insistence that His followers "repent and believe in the Gospel." So, instead of repenting they turned and tried to find fault with His infallible Church.

What were 3 abuses of the Catholic Church as identified by Martin Luther in his 95 theses?
Well, to start off with, there is no "Roman Catholic Church." It's just Catholic, not Roman Catholic. Roman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is never used by the official Catholic Church. . Secondly, the Catholic Church is just about twenty centuries old at this point, and in all those centuries, as the Catholic Church is composed entirely of sinners, saving Our Blessed Lord, and His Mother, there have been many abuses over the centuries, and they always seem to lead to criticisms, which in, and of, itself is a sin as bad as the abuses, in many cases. . Therefore to give an adequate answer to your question, you are going to have to narrow it down to a particular century or part of a century, and perhaps a continent, so as to receive a meaningful answer. I get the feeling that you are not looking for a complete explanation of the Donatist heresy in the early fourth century, but you might be. There are whole volumes written about each "abuse" and each "criticism", so you are going to have to be a whole lot more precise with your question.
