Which of martin luthers ideas did the catholic church include in its reforms?
Reading through Martin Luther's Ninty-five Theses, one would have to say that the Catholic Church did not include any of his ideas in their reforms other than the one that showed the necessity of better education of the clergy - for obvious reasons. Of Luther's 95 Theses, some of them were already Catholic dogma, that apparently the hapless Luther did not know (and steadfastly refused to know) while others were clearly heretical or nonsensical. Bottom line? None, other than requiring better education of anyone ordained to the priesthood.
