Well, to start off with, there is no "Roman Catholic Church." It's just Catholic, not Roman Catholic. Roman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is never used by the official Catholic Church.
.
Secondly, the Catholic Church is just about twenty centuries old at this point, and in all those centuries, as the Catholic Church is composed entirely of sinners, saving Our Blessed Lord, and His Mother, there have been many abuses over the centuries, and they always seem to lead to criticisms, which in, and of, itself is a sin as bad as the abuses, in many cases.
.
Therefore to give an adequate answer to your question, you are going to have to narrow it down to a particular century or part of a century, and perhaps a continent, so as to receive a meaningful answer. I get the feeling that you are not looking for a complete explanation of the Donatist heresy in the early fourth century, but you might be. There are whole volumes written about each "abuse" and each "criticism", so you are going to have to be a whole lot more precise with your question.

Who created the Lutheran church?
His followers. I have been raised Lutheran and I have learned that Martin Luther's original intentions were not at all to break with the Catholic church, he in fact encouraged his followers not to break from the church, he just wanted to change the corruptness of it and focus more on the Bible. The way I understand it to be is that Martin Luther's followers (not Martin Luther, it was after his death) broke from the Catholic church because they recognized the strength of the church itself and were insulted by the fact that the Catholic church excommunicated Luther.
