The Ninety-five Theses, to anyone who knows anything at all about Catholic theology, are a perfect example of Martin Luther's ignorance of Catholic Theology and should be a sterling example to anyone why they should be a Catholic. Some of them are asking for things which were already Catholic theology, the only reason that I can suppose that Martin Luther put them in was that he was complaining because people believed them, as opposed to Catholic teaching. That he didn't mention this fact kind of puts him in a bad light as he supposedly was a teacher of Catholic theology. Others are totally off the wall, and I don't see how anyone could have believed them, #5-7, 30 seem to deny the sacrament of Confession and Penance.

.

On the other hand, I should imagine to any protestant that these are all totally off-the-wall, as they certainly seem to be Catholic teaching for the most part, and for a protestant would be totally blasphemous.
