The main impact of Martin Luther's 95 Theses was to convince the Pope and the Bishops that they had to do a better job of educating priests and religious as it showed the stunning ignorance of an Augustinian Friar who was actually teaching Theology! Most of the Theses on the list were already Catholic doctrine, and the few that weren't were so far out as to not even be Christian. You may read them below.

How many complaints did Martin Luther make about the Catholic church?
His grievances centered around the sale of "indulgences," luxuries which had been used by the Church to raise money since the early Middle Ages. In essence, a wealthy individual could donate a substantial tithe of money in order to have sins forgiven.
Who attacked false doctrines of the Roman Catholic Church by nailing his 95 Theses to the church door in Wittenberg Germany in 1517?
The question, as asked is not legitimate, as it is assumed facts not in evidence, as they say in a court of law. The question is assuming that 1) there is a "Roman Catholic Church", 2) that such a Church had false doctrines, etc. Roman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is never used by the Catholic Church. Martin Luther, who famously nailed his 95 Theses to the church door in Wittenberg, Germany in 1517, was one very disturbed individual. If you know anything at all about Catholic theology and you actually read the 95 Theses, you will realize almost immediately that Martin Luther did not have a firm grasp of Catholic Theology. Most of his Theses make no sense whatsoever as he is asking questions which assume the Church doesn't believe what it does, or does believe what it doesn't. Bottom line, it was Martin Luther attacking the Catholic Church, but they had no false doctrines, as the Catholic Church was established by Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ, Himself, who guaranteed every one of their doctrines until the end of the world, read St. Matthew 16: 17-19.

Yes
May a church title itself Catholic and not be a Roman Catholic Church?
Unfortunately, the Church has little control over the name Catholic and it is hijacked all the time by groups that are NOT in union with Rome and, therefore, not truly Catholic. A few examples: The American Catholic Church, The American Charismatic Catholic Church, the Polish National Catholic Church. Calling oneself something does not make it so.

Can your baby be considered catholic if baptized in a Methodist church?
I'm afraid not. The Catholic church will consider the baby as a 'Christian' and not a 'Roman Catholic' since they were baptized. It's a valid sacrament in the eyes of the Catholic Church. However you need to talk to the parish priest in the Catholic Church and they'll guide you with more information as to make your baby a Roman Catholic.
How did Martin Luther feel about the Catholic church?
He wanted to reform corrupt practices and question traditions that seemed without basis..Catholic AnswerM. Luther's thoughts about the Catholic Church are contained in the 95 Theses, an English translation of which I have attached below. As M. Luther was (supposedly) a priest, an Augustinian Friar, and a Theology professor, one could hope that what he thought about the beliefs of the Catholic Church were pretty much what is taught in the Catholic Church throughout history. However, as his "95 Theses" show, he was incredibly ignorant about basic teachings of the faith. Some of what he calls for is totally ludicrous as it is what the Church has always taught - they could come right out of a Theology book. Others are just off the wall. Admittedly, he was calling for refutation of what (he said) others were preaching, but even then, it just doesn't make a lot of sense. He should have known better. What he believed about the Church and what he came to believe about the Church many years later are two completely different things. In the beginning he was calling for a reform of indulgences, which was actually quite sensible giving the goings on back then of some people; however, later in life he completely denies indulgences, or even the power of the keys - something which he held firmly in his earlier years.
