Best Answer

Luther openly questioned the teachings of the Roman Catholic church, in particular, the nature of penance, the authority of the pope and the usefulness of indulgences. He taught that the authority of the priests were merely man made and therefore did not affect faith. In other words they were corrupting Christianity. Luther also taught that anyone could be a Christian, and they did not need to go through the priests in order to learn how to be a Christian. Salvation is attained by faith through Grace alsone, meaning all they needed was faith which one got from reading the scriptures, not following all the man-made rites and rituals of the church.
