Martin Luther claims authority based on his interpretation of Scripture, emphasizing that the Bible is the ultimate source of truth and authority for Christians. He argues that faith, rather than works or Church tradition, grants believers access to God's grace. Luther asserts the priesthood of all believers, suggesting that every Christian has the right and ability to interpret the Scriptures for themselves, thus challenging the hierarchical authority of the Catholic Church. This perspective laid the foundation for the Protestant Reformation and the idea of individual conscience in matters of faith.
Why was Martin Luther critical of the Roman Catholic Church?
The short answer is abuse of wealth and power in Rome. He believed that salvation was offered by God, not the church or its emissaries. At the time, the church was selling "indulgences", pieces of paper that got you into heaven, for a price. He never intended to split away from the church, but he would not be quieted about what he thought the church was doing wrong. He wrote "Disputatio pro declaratione virtutis indulgentiarum", known as the 95 Theses and nailed it to the door of the Castle Church in Wittenburg, Germany. The idea caught on like wildfire. Thus the Protestant Reformation was born.

What did Martin Luther think of the pope not making mistakes?
There may be some confusion here. The Catholic Church doesn't say that the Pope cannot make mistakes. They merely say that when he defines a Church doctrine in the name of the Church, and for the entire Church, his definition will not be in error. Since the Church doesn't CLAIM that the pope makes no mistakes, then, we should not expect Martin Luther to have used the idea as an objection to the Church.Source: http://oce.catholic.com/index.php?title=Infallibility
What was Martin Luther trying to do to the Catholic Church?
There were (and are) abuses of power by the Catholic church, such as the selling of indulgences and immorality on the part of the church hierarchy..Catholic AnswerMartin Luther attached the Catholic Church because of sin, mostly his own. He was an Augustinian Friar under solemn vows (which he had made voluntarily after years of prayer and reflection) of poverty, chastity, and obedience. He left his Order without even asking for permission or a dispensation from his vows, and proceeded to flaunt all of them - in a rather spectacular fashion. M. Luther had severe problems with Christian morality and rather than repenting, believing in the power of Christ to save him; he rewrote Christianity into something else (now called protestantism and Lutheranism) in which he didn't have to live by the Gospel and could claim he was saved despite himself. He attacked the Catholic Church in an attempt to deny responsibility for his actions. fromRadio Replies, by Fathers Rumble and Carty, 1942221 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."

Why was martin Luther unhappy with the church?
The idea that people need priests to act on behalf of God and that people could not have a personal relationship with God. Thanks!!!! Luther's dissatisfaction with the Church actually stemmed from the selling of Indulgences, these were pieces of paper that absolved people's dead relatives of their sins. Luther thought it was curious that they were being sold at the same time that St Peters Basilica was being built and the Papacy needed more money. He began to doubt the sincerity of the church and eventually wrote his 95 theses attacking many aspects of the Church, including Indulgences, Transubstantiation and Priestly corruption. As well as outlining justification by faith alone (having a personal relationship with God)
