Martin Luther objected to several practices of the Catholic Church, including the selling of indulgences, which he believed undermined the true meaning of repentance and forgiveness. He also criticized the Church's emphasis on tradition and hierarchy over the authority of The Bible, advocating for a more direct relationship between individuals and God through scripture. Additionally, Luther disagreed with the concept of purgatory and the idea that salvation could be earned through good works rather than faith alone.
The Catholic Church was highly corrupt prior to Martin Luther denouncing their activities. They would sell pardons for the dead in Heaven and gather up huge sums of money unethically.
Martin Luther was a clergyman in the 1500s who created Lutheranism when he deeply disagreed with the greedy and immoral practices he saw going on within the Catholic church. Queen Elizabeth I was not particularly fond of Luther, since she thought Lutheranism was an extreme form of Protestantism.
¨The Protestant Reformation was caused by Martin Luther, during the 16th century. ¨The Reformation did not occur in orthodox Christianity in Russia or what was left of the Byzantine empire in Greece. ¨It was called the protestant reformation because it was originally an attempt to reform the traditional institutions of the western church but also supporting the motivation of offerings for the means of salvation. ¨Martin Luther became very unhappy with the Roman Catholic Church and how it had became. One particular practice that he didn't like was when priests will sell "entrances to heaven" to people in exchange for money. The Roman Catholic Church were selling indulgences, saying that if you buy it, you have salvation, and people like Martin Luther didn't agree with that, saying that by God's grace we are saved. ¨Luther later posted all his complaints about the Catholic Church in the door of a Catholic church thus starting the Protestant Reformation.
Luther posted what has become known as his 95 Theses. These listed his concerns at some practices in the Catholic Church, especially the selling of indulgences to gain release from purgatory. A copy of them can be seen at the link below.
This is generally held to be German Pastor Martin Luther, who nailed his 95 theses, a list of complaints about the activities of the Roman Catholic Church to the door of Wittenburg Cathedral in the year 1517. The main complaint was about the sale of indulgences, forgiveness for sins in exchange for money. During this period the king of England also split from the Catholic church because he did not wish to be controlled by them in his marital affair's. The Catholic church was the victim of its own power becoming a murderous and corrupt institution as the result of lack of competition.

It sounds like you are asking about the 95 Theses which Martin Luther nailed to the Castle Church door, but if you read them, you quickly realize that Martin Luther was not describing corruption in the Church but advertising his own ignorance of Church doctrine as most of them are dogmas that were perfectly Catholic.
Martin Luther was a German monk in the Catholic Church. He became disgruntled with the practices of the church, specifically the selling of indulgences (pardons for sin for money) and started the Protestant Movement and formed the Lutheran Church.
Correction - he didn't like the CATHOLIC church. He accused them of abusing their power in several ways. Thank you ! :) for the answer. He had 95 reasons for disliking the Catholic Church. If you google "Martin Luther 95" you will get a link to a pdf with the original 95 Theses he posted on the door of All Saint's Church in Wittenburg, Gemany on October 31, in 1517 on. The man had a flair for the poetic, I suppose. (October 31st is All Hallow's Eve or the eve of All Saints Day in the Catholic Church calendar). Enjoy the read!

He posted the 95 thesis on the Church doors
Luther nailed the 95 these to the CHURCH DOOR as a sign of protest against the catholic church. it was not uncommon during that time period to nail things on the doors of the church, it was where most peopled nailed things like fliers and announcements because everyone went to church and would see it there.
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.
Martin Luther. He, because of his extremely scrupulous conscience and false vocation to religious life, decided to reform the Church.He didn't like the selling of indulgences and other corrupt practices. It is important to point out that there were many things that need reform in the Catholic Church, but it was the pope's job, not Martin Luther's.
