The chruch was too rich:
The church owned about one third of all of the land in England. An ordinary peasant had to give 10% of their harvest ( a tithe) to the priest every year. Some felt that the bishops, priests and monks lived in luxury whilst the poor suffered.
The priest didn't lead a very holy life:
Soem priests had a few jobs and neglected their work. Villagers once told the Bishop of Hereford.
'The priest put his horses and sheep in the churchyard... he was away for 6 weeks and made no arrangement for a substitute. Sir John (the priest) spends his time in the taverns (pubs) and there his tongue is loosened to the scande of everyone. He is living with a woman Margaret and he cannot read nor write and so cannot look after the parishers' souls'
Ordinary people did not think soem priests were setting a very good example to the people living in the village or town.
Ordinary people couldn't understand church services:
The Bible was written in Latin and the church services were held in this language as well. People said they found it difficult to feel close to God if they couldn't understand what was being said in church.
Poor People couldn't afford indulgences:
When a person died, they went to heaven or hell. It was thought you passed through a place called purgatory on the way. In purgatory, people believed you were punished for any sins you may of commited whilst you were alive. It wasn't meant to be a nice place to stay very long. When you were alive, you could buy indulgences from a bishop. This meant that you travelled through purgatory quicker. Rich people could buy lots of indulgences. Poor people didn't think it was fair. They thought that they were being punished for being poor.

Catholic AnswerMartin Luther basically was angry with the Catholic Church because he was a very misguided soul who could not reconcile his life with the teachings of Christ. So he changed the teachings of Christ in order to not feel guilty about the way he lived. There were things wrong with the Church at the time, but you do not leave the Church that Jesus Christ founded because its members are sinning and form your own. Martin Luther, on the other hand, had, after years of prayer and reflection, made solemn vows of lifelong poverty, chastity, and obedience. He then left his monastery without even asking permission, and proceeded to violate everyone of his vows in a very public, disgusting way: throwing away his salvation with both hands, and dragging others with him. He was angry with the Catholic Church as they were trying to hold him to a moral life that Our Blessed Lord requested of him, and he vowed himself to, and they were holding him to it, and he didn't want to follow it..
from Radio Replies, by Fathers Rumble and Carty, 1942
221 The power of Romanism was shattered by Martin Luther, of immortal memory.
Martin Luther is undoubtedly an outstanding figure in history. But the immortal memory of Luther will become less and less pleasant as the facts concerning him become known. Those who idealize Luther can do so only by ignoring an immense amount of inconvenient information. He was a priest of the Catholic Church, but one who was not faithful to his obligations even as a Christian. On his own admissions he was a victim of both immorality and drunkenness; and he was the most intolerant of men. Far from granting liberty of conscience, he refused to allow anyone to think differently from himself, and coolly said, "Whoever teaches otherwise than I teach is a child of hell.

What did martin Luther hope to achieve by postinq the 95 theses?
Luther had come to believe that Christians are saved through faith and not through their own efforts.

On 31 October 1517, he published his '95 Theses', attacking papal abuses and the sale of indulgences. with money and balls in your mouth

What obstacles did Martin Luther King Jr overcome?
One big obstacle was the racism in American society: when Martin Luther King was growing up, much of America was still segregated and opportunities for black people were very limited. Another problem later on was that he had difficulty convincing his followers to commit to the course of non-violence; some of his followers were very frustrated and angry about the discrimination they endured, and he had to persuade them that patience and non-violence would get the best results and bring positive social change.

Why was the Catholic Church angry at Martin luther's attempts to stop the practice of indulgences?
.Catholic AnswerFirst of all, let's try and get some things straight. The Catholic Church is the Mystical Body of Christ, it is here to bring people to God, and God, through the Sacraments and prayer, to the people; in other words, it does not get "angry". The Catholic Church is the Love of God incarnate in His Church. Secondly, Martin Luther did not try to stop the practice of indulgences, if you actually read his 95 Theses, he was all for indulgences, he was trying to stop the abuse involved in some individual's preaching and use of indulgences, he certainly was not trying to stop them. The Holy Father, at that time, tried to straighten things out with Martin Luther, and due to Luther's intransigent and refusal to listen to reason, they failed as Martin Luther went further and further afield into outright heresy and refused to reconsider his positions. So, the short answer to your question is that the question itself is nonsense and doesn't make sense - in other words, No.
Why did Martin Luther get angry with the Catholic Church and the Pope?
.Catholic AnswerMartin Luther got "angry" if you will because of sin. He was a solemnly professed friar with lifelong vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience which he had taken before the altar of God after many years of careful reflection, prayer, and consideration. When, later, which NO reflection, prayer, or consideration, he ditched all its solemn vows and left to lead a life of dissolution, no prayer, no reflection, and certainly no chastity, poverty, or obedience, the Church, surprise, surprise, didn't go along with it. Of course, he didn't ask the Church to be released from his solemn vows, which were signed and sealed on the altar, he just expected the Church to smile. The Pope, in the normal course of affairs has nothing whatsoever to do with the affairs of individual friars - except if they petition to be released from their vows - which, I repeat, Martin Luther did NOT do. However, when the princes of northern Germany started to use Martin Luther as an excuse to close all the Churches in northern Germany and deny the Sacraments to people, then, yes, the Pope got a little upset. M. Luther might have been angry with the Catholic Church and the Pope but I certainly don't see why - they didn't do anything wrong, he did.

Did Martin Luther change the Catholic Church?
Martin Luther did not "split" from the Catholic Church, he left the Catholic Church and started his own. That is technically known as apostasy and heresy. The Orthodox Churches split from the Catholic Church, Martin Luther apostatized from the Catholic Church - two completely different things.

Why were the first reformers angry at the Catholic Church and the Pope?
.Catholic AnswerThe first "reformers", if you will, were Martin Luther, and Henry VIII. People now say that they were angry at the Catholic Church and the Pope and this is true to an extent as the Pope refused to issue them a license to indulge in sin, in both of their cases, it involved sex. Martin Luther left his religious order and abandoned his sacred vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience, without even bothering to ask permission. He then proceeded to flaunt all of them by marrying a runaway nun and indulging his fondness for beer. Henry VIII formed his own Church to do away with his first wife, and liked it so much, he went through five more. The fact that they were angry at not being allowed to indulge in their passions and remain Catholics hardly justifies the question as asked.
