This is a little difficult, Martin Luther posted 95 Theses which were mainly complaints about the misunderstanding of indulgences, but most of what he was complaining about were already Catholic doctrine. He also maintained that Fr. Tetzel was selling indulgences, but this was an outright lie that has been repeated for centuries. See the second link below. Henry VIII complained that he couldn't divorce his wife, but what they all were really complaining about was the fact that the Church was asking them to lead a moral life as requested by Jesus Christ in the Bible, and they didn't want to, they wanted the Church to change to accept their immoral practices, so they made up their own Churches to suit themselves. You may read Martin Luther's 95 Theses at the link below.
