For a couple reasons: the primary one being that the "Church" is the Mystical Body of Christ on earth and, as such, cannot change. It is true that it is full of fallible human beings, but fallible human beings who are infallibly prevented from destroying the Church.
So he *couldn't* "CHANGE the Church. The second reason is that although he *said* that he was just trying to remove abuses in the Church, any reasonable person who truly wanted to remove abuses would have stayed in the Church and worked to do just that.
Fr. Martin Luther did not and thus showed the lie. Third, he was remarkably ill-educated. Anyone who reads his 95 Theses and knows anything at all about the Church will be stunned at the ignorance displayed therein. Some of this theses are actually calling for what has always been Church doctrine - and WAS at the time he was complaining. Some of them are so totally off the wall as to question the sanity of the person writing them. Altogether 95 statements that convict Martin Luther of being remarkably ignorant, and hardly a priest and friar of the church he had taken solemn vows to uphold.
Finally, he lack of humility, and lack of any kind of Christian prayer life just goes to highlight the adult fruition of the mental unbalance we saw highlighted when he become a Friar NOT from any religious sentiment but from fear of being killed. "Father" Martin Luther should never have been in a religious vocation, and certainly should never have been allowed to lead so many people astray.

God's love for all humans and their faith in his Son is all that's necessary. God gave his only Son to die and thereby paid the cost of all sin. All we humans must do is believe in Jesus Christ.

Why did Martin Luther's ideas about interpreting the bible differ form Catholics ideas?
Bottom line? Because Martin Luther started his own church out of nothing, and to give it some semblance of authority, he has to come up with something, so he used the Bible. The only problem with this is that he completely ignored the fact that Jesus Christ never wrote the Bible. Jesus Christ founded a Church and commanded that they go out and convert people. As part of that work, their words were collected by the church and put into a book we now know as the New Testament - as part of her preaching the Gospel of Christ. Obviously, the Bible was never intended to be the complete Christianity, and it even says so! So Martin Luther editedthe Bible to take out the parts he didn't agree with and change the other parts to agree with him. His ideas differed from the Catholic Church since the Catholic Church only teaches the ideas that Jesus gave her, and Martin Luther taught only his own ideas.
How did Calvin's ideas differ from Luther ideas?
Martin Luther believed in a separation of church and state. Calvin believed that the church should be the state. Calvin felt that if man had free will, then God was not omnipotent. Martin Luther felt that man could have free will and that did not diminish God's power.
