Martin Luther's criticism of the Roman Catholic Church focused on what Church practice?

Martin Luther dreamed up his own religion out of thin air to suit himself, as Christianity was too hard for him to abide, so he made up his own religion which he, himself, said that God would save him no matter how much he sinned because he had made up his mind. I would say that the primary practice that he critized the Church for was its absolute stance to support Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ's, teaching calling men to repent and lead a moral life. To try and bolster his position, he threw books out of the Old Testament and tried to throw books out of the New Testament as well. In other words, he couldn't abide the Church's teaching, so he based his version of Christianity on the Bible alone, then adjusted the Bible to agree with himself:
.
In one incident he translated Romans 8:28 as "We hold that man is justified without works of the law by faith alone." His answer to Emser's exposition of his perversion of the text was: "If your P*pist annoys you with the word [alone], tell him straightway: Dr. Martin Luther will have it so: P*pist and ass are one and the same thing. Whoever will not have my translation, let him give it the go-by: the devil's thanks to him who censures it without my will and knowledge. Luther will have it so, and he is a doctor above all the doctors in Popedom." (Amic. Discussion, 1, 127). {Please note that the WikiAnswers computer will not allow me to quote Martin Luther's word for Catholics, so I have replaced it with P*pist you have to supply the "a" yourself.}
.
Other reformers at that time did not agree with him on the New Testament and they put those books back in their Bible. The Council of Trent reaffirmed the Church's constant teaching on the Bible and the books it contains.
