Catholic AnswerThe biggest thing that they did not have in common was humility. Martin Luther thought that he knew better than his solemn vows. He thought he knew better than the 600 years of his Religious Order. He thought he knew better than the Mystical Body of Christ which is the Church which was established by Our Blessed Lord itself and lead by the Holy Spirit. In other words, he thought he knew better than God, so he made up his own church and his own God, along with his own Bible.

Roman Catholic AnswerOf course people believed in the Church in 1500. The Catholic Church is the Mystical Body of Christ, and the means that He established for them to reach heaven, and He guaranteed that the Church would perdure. Martin Luther had not started preaching his heresy until 1517 leading people astray, and even then, most of the common people still believed in Christ's Church. It was the rulers looking for temporal power who used Luther as an excuse to free themselves from what they saw as the Vatican's oppression.
What was the core reason why Protestants wanted to reform the Catholic Church?
AnswerThere were several issues over which the Protestants and Catholics were in dispute, but the factor common to almost all issues was that the Protestants felt that the Catholic Church had become corrupt.

What changes did Martin Luther make to the Catholic church?
The changes Martin Luther made to the catholic church were: They had to print the bible in more than one language. He also thought that people should not have to pay the church to ask for god's forgiveness for a sin. Remember this is not Martin Luther King Jr. -------- Wait a minute - While Fr. Martin Luther was a Roman Catholic priest, it is absurd to think he singlehandedly change the Catholic Church! Instead, he set about to create his own group - those who protested - and they became known as the Protestants. While the Catholic Church does NOT require anyone to pay the Church to ask for forgiveness, in the Middle Ages (much like today) there were corrupt people who took advantage of the poor and uneducated and charged a "fee" for an "indulgence." The uneducated people of the day saw indulgences as "get out of Hell free" cards. In addition, Luther could not accept the Church's authority on issues of faith and morals. He could not believe in the doctrine of transubstantiation and decided that instead of having faith, he'd make a new church that was easier to follow and devoid of any of the difficult dogma of the Catholic Church. Certainly Luther was right about the grievous sin of taking advantage of the uneducated and poor, he was wrong about Transubstantiation. He could have done the world a great deal of good had he worked for change from within instead of causing division.
In what way was Martin Luther a crudeman?
Martin Luther can be considered a "crudeman" in the sense that he challenged the established norms and practices of the Catholic Church with a raw and unfiltered approach. His 95 Theses, which criticized the sale of indulgences and other church practices, were direct and provocative, sparking widespread debate and reform. Luther's emphasis on personal faith and scripture over church authority resonated with the common people, making him a revolutionary figure in the religious landscape of his time. This straightforward and often confrontational style contributed to the Protestant Reformation and reshaped Christianity in Europe.

How did Luther' s popularity in Germany change after his challenge of the Catholic Church?
Martin Luther did not really challenge the Catholic Church. He issued his 95 Theses which only went to show his ignorance. After that he left the Church and proceeded to hurl invective at it. This made him hugely popular with the Northern Germany princes as they saw a way out of getting out of financially supporting Rome and the Church. For the most part, I believe that the peasants were mostly put out as they lost access to the sacraments, I don't think this would have made him very popular with the common folk.
Who nailed his ninety-five theses or proposals to the door of a German church?
The Theses were nailed to the door of the cathedral by Martin Luther. It was common practice in that time to spark discussions about topics or to publicly communicate by posting a notice on the door. Luther had no idea what a huge outcry would result from his Theses posting. Martin Luther never intended to leave the church; he just wanted a few things changed, such as selling indulgences. So when everyone got upset, Luther was quite surprised and appalled. The Bishop in his town demanded Martin Luther come and defend himself to the Bishop, and Martin went and defended his ideas.
Who was the man that broke away from the Catholic Church and begun a religious movement?
Martin Luther did not wish to break from the Catholic Church, all he wanted was to initiate a discussion on possible reforms within the church and announced his issues (The Ninety-Five Theses on the Power and Efficacy of Indulgences) in the then common way of posting them on the door of the local Cathedral. It was the German princes that wanted to break from the control of the (not so) Holy Roman Empire that then offered him the chance to create his own church.
