Another answer from our community:
. Martin Luther's primary "gripe" with the Catholic Church was that the Church was holding him accountable for his moral behavior. In addition, M. Luther, supposedly, was a priest in the Augustinian Order. For an Augustinian priest, he was remarkably ignorant of his faith and his theology. Martin Luther objected to his vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience, and proceeded to leave his monastery without permission, and to break every one of his vows, without bothering to even ask for a dispensation from his solemnly professed vows. Martin Luther had many, many problems, and he blamed the Church for all of them. For a complete discussion of his "gripes" please get the book The Facts About Luther, by Patrick O'Hare:

∙ 7y agoMartin Luther was a man of high moral principles who feared fro the very soul of the Church he loved. His intention was not to leave the Church but to reform it. His major "gripe" was the sale of Indulgences to people who wanted an easy way to spend less time in purgatory. It was only when the Church refused to listen to him, and his life was in danger, that he began to preach independence from the Catholic Church.
Many people believe that the term 'Protestant' comes from people protesting the rules of the Catholic Church. This is not true. It came about because people protested the treatment of Martin Luther.
