Catholic AnswerThat is a little difficult to say as Martin Luther, despite his education, and his ordination was remarkably ignorant about actual Church practices. If you read his "95 Theses", some of them are remarkably Catholic (in other words, they were, and are, actual beliefs of the Catholic Church); others are totally off the wall and make no sense. For instance, one that you always hear is that he was against the selling of indulgences, and there were problems with indulgences back then that blurred the line between receiving an indulgence in return for alms, and actual selling indulgences, but indulgences have nothing to do with forgiveness of sin, never had, and never would. And yet that is the most famous and remembered of all the practices challenged by Luther.
