Martin Luther did not believe that the church was necessary to be a Catholic, as the ceremonies and rituals were unnecessary. He also didn't believe in paying to get rid of your sins, or for penance, which is what the church believed in.

∙ 10y agoWell, it could be said that his posting of the 95 Theses (attached below) was an attempt to draw other Catholics, particularly the Bishops into a discussion about what Martin Luther saw as problems with the Church. Unfortunately for Martin Luther, he was the prime example of what was wrong with the Church and his 95 Theses only go to prove that. Most of the 95 Theses are remarkable in that they have always been Catholic teaching. Far from posting 95 Theses to start "the reformation" most of them were pleas to the Holy Father to institute things which did not need to be instituted, they were already Catholic dogma. A few of them, however, were evidence of the sad lack of education of the clergy of that era - well, actually all of them were evidence of that as they showed off Martin Luther's total ignorance of Catholic theology and he supposedly was a doctor of Theology and taught it in the seminary! Shortly thereafter, Luther lost all credibility because instead of trying to discuss and learn where his errors were, he abruptly left his Order and the Church without even requesting permission and went off to start his own Church which would approve of his personal sins. In short, Martin Luther did absolutely nothing to "fix" the Church beyond demonstrating the need for better education of the religious and clergy.

Why was the Catholic Church angry at Martin luther's attempts to stop the practice of indulgences?
.Catholic AnswerFirst of all, let's try and get some things straight. The Catholic Church is the Mystical Body of Christ, it is here to bring people to God, and God, through the Sacraments and prayer, to the people; in other words, it does not get "angry". The Catholic Church is the Love of God incarnate in His Church. Secondly, Martin Luther did not try to stop the practice of indulgences, if you actually read his 95 Theses, he was all for indulgences, he was trying to stop the abuse involved in some individual's preaching and use of indulgences, he certainly was not trying to stop them. The Holy Father, at that time, tried to straighten things out with Martin Luther, and due to Luther's intransigent and refusal to listen to reason, they failed as Martin Luther went further and further afield into outright heresy and refused to reconsider his positions. So, the short answer to your question is that the question itself is nonsense and doesn't make sense - in other words, No.
Why did the Catholic Church try to assassinate Martin Luther?
It was not the Catholic Church but Emperor Charles V who presented the final draft of the Diet of Worms on May 25, 1521, declaring Luther an outlaw, banning his literature, and requiring his arrest: "We want him to be apprehended and punished as a notorious heretic." It also made it a crime for anyone in Germany to give Luther food or shelter. It permitted anyone to kill Luther without legal consequence.
