What were the main differences between Luther's ideas and those of the Roman Catholic Church?

Lutheran is a protestant sect and basically follows its beliefs, like the disbelief on the Virgin Mary, the saints, the statues of saints, praying directly to God, confession to priest, etc. More ever Luther dismisses the validity of indulgences and claim it to have corrupted the church.


How did the ideas of the reformation differ from those of established Catholic church?

The primary difference was that the Protestants argued that the ability to interpret the Bible rested with the individual believer and not the Church establishment. Therefore, the only thing that was relevant in knowing God was the Bible and not Church doctrines.


Why did the pope wait to excommunicate Martin Luther?

He waited, because Luther had many people's attention and sympathies. The pope was hoping to pressure Luther to recant, so that his sympathizers would run to the Church of the pope. If Luther was excommunicated outright, those "followers" would likely stay with Luther and reject the imposed papal authority. When Luther was clear that he maintained his stand, he was excommunicated and many Christians went with him.

How did the teachings of John Calvin differ from those of Martin Luther?

Not nearly as much as their divergent paths may make you suspect. Luther basically agreed with what Calvin thought about predestination. Calvin thought that Luther was right about the importance of faith over works, but believed that a Christian must live in accord with Christ after their acceptance of faith (whereas Luther merely thought that a Christian who has accepted faith would, through sheer compulsion to share the divine, do good works). More on the nuances which they actually disagree on can be found at a website I found below:

Who organized a new church that emphasized predestination?

John Calvin (1509-1564) created a form of systematic theology that emphasised predestination. Calvin's theology was very important in the Reformation period, with it strongly influencing Reformation theology in most countries outside of Germany (where Luther's theology was more important). The Dutchman, Jacob Arminius (1560-1609), reacted against the determinism inherent in Calvin's doctrine of predestination, and proposed a doctrine that asserted the unimpaired freewill of all people. The 39 Articles of the Church of England, although strongly influenced by Calvin's doctrines, holds back from the unqualified adoption of the doctrine of predestination, and points the clergy to consider the words of Scripture on this subject. In England, the Christian reformer, John Wesley, was closer in his ideas to Arminius than to Calvin, and so is the Methodist Church, which was formed out those who were converted by his preaching or followed his ideas.
