I HAVE READ THAT HE STARTED THE REFOMATION BECAUSE PRIEST WHERE TAKING MONEY FROM PEOPLE TO HELP GET THEM TO HEAVEN .....

Answer

Some priests were indeed selling " Indulgences ". This is no longer the case . Martin Luther had issues with the Pope . He took John Wesley with him. There are now Lutherans and Weslyeans, as these two also parted ways.However, there were Catholics before Luther and we are still here. We chose to work on our problems internally rather than abandon our Church .Some people choose to " jump ship " when the going gets tough, and others just row harder.

Martin Luther grew tired of the church hierarchy taking advantage of its parishioners. He published the grievances and was separated from the church. He had to hide for fear of his life.

He didn't initially intend to start a new religion but to improve the church.
