Why did Martin Luther object to the state of the Catholic Church?
A:There were few periods in the long history of the Catholic Church when corruption was more openly present than during the Renaissance period. The sale of indulgences was becoming a prime source of personal income for popes, cardinals and bishops, as were the sale of ecclesiastical offices and the imposition of many corrupt fees and charges.In 1514, Albrecht of Brandenburg had been raised to the archdiocese of Mainz, but since he intended not to surrender his previous diocese of Magdeburg, and was also under the canonical age to be a bishop, the pope was able to insist on a considerable fee. He agreed in return that 50 per cent of the monies raised from the preaching of the indulgence in Albrecht's two dioceses could be set against this sum. This shoddy deal, made more offensive by the vigour and lack of sophistication with which the indulgence was preached around Magdeburg by the Dominican friar Tetzel, spurred Luther to action.Catholic AnswerMartin Luther objections to the state of the Catholic Church were primarily through ignorance. Attached at the link below is a list of Martin Luther's 95 Theses. A casual glance through all 95 Theses reveals a startling ignorance in Martin Luther. Many of his requests are actually (and were at that time) perfectly valid Catholic theology. Others were totally off the wall, and made no sense. Martin Luther, unbeknownst to himself, was a primary illustration of the problem in the Church at that time - abysmal education of the clergy. This was the first problem that the Council of Trent addressed. At the second link is a list of the 95 Theses to which the Pope objected. Reading through the entire 95 Theses is quite enlightening as the theses to which the Pope did NOT object are actually quite offensive to modern protestants!
What did Martin Luther reform?
Martin Luther's "ideas" were contained in his 95 Theses. They are all over the place, some of them call for things which have always been legitimate Catholic teaching. Others are completely off the wall. The ones that were already Catholic teaching, of course needed no reform, others were condemned by the Church as ludicrous. Bottom line? The Church did not use any of Luther's ideas for its reforms.
Where were martin Luther's 95 theses written?
95 thesis Although Justo Gonzalez records in his The Story of Christianity that there was a set of 99 theses taking on the Roman Catholic doctrine of soteriology (salvation, including justification by faith and works), while the later and more famous 95 theses took on the Roman Catholic practice of indulgences. Interestingly, Gonzalez doesn't document the statement about the 99 theses, and I haven't read it in any other history, biography, or theology.
What did the 95 theses influence?
The Ninety-five Theses, to anyone who knows anything at all about Catholic theology, are a perfect example of Martin Luther's ignorance of Catholic Theology and should be a sterling example to anyone why they should be a Catholic. Some of them are asking for things which were already Catholic theology, the only reason that I can suppose that Martin Luther put them in was that he was complaining because people believed them, as opposed to Catholic teaching. That he didn't mention this fact kind of puts him in a bad light as he supposedly was a teacher of Catholic theology. Others are totally off the wall, and I don't see how anyone could have believed them, #5-7, 30 seem to deny the sacrament of Confession and Penance. . On the other hand, I should imagine to any protestant that these are all totally off-the-wall, as they certainly seem to be Catholic teaching for the most part, and for a protestant would be totally blasphemous.
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.

What change to Christian Church practice was suggested by Martin Luther?
The changes that Martin Luther "suggested" were contained in the 95 Theses, a collection of 95 complaints that Martin Luther had about the Church which he wished to debate on, they are at the link below. A quick perusal of them suggests that Martin Luther, despite being an Augustinian Friar and a reputed doctor of Theology knew little of his Catholic faith as most of these Theses are and were already the common teaching of the Church, while a few of them were totally off the wall, so to speak. One explanation might be that the changes he was actually suggesting were to better educate the laity, although one can only speculate. For instance in # 16 Luther suggests that "There seems to be the same difference between hell, purgatory, and heaven as between despair, uncertainty, and assurance. These is manifest heresy as anyone in purgatory is certain of heaven and joyful as they are being purged solely for the purpose of entering heaven. One wonders, while reading the theses exactly what Luther was really suggesting, that people didn't understand, that he didn't understand; it seems beyond credibility that he could suggest that the Church was teaching manifest heresy. And then in 52 he suggests "It is vain to rely on salvation by letters of indulgence, even if the commissary, or indeed the pope himself, were to pledge his own soul for their validity." Again, one wonders what Luther was suggesting here, as a priest he would know better than anyone that indulgences have nothing whatsoever to do with salvation, and only apply to penance for already forgiven sin.
