What was the subject of martin luther's ninety-five theses?
Personal faith in Christ alone. For this, he was castigated by the "mother" church.
The formal title really explains this: "A Disputation on the Power and Efficacy of Indulgences." The door of the Castle Church at Wittenberg where he nailed what became known as the 95 theses was like the noticeboard for the nearby university. This issue had been troubling Luther for some time, in particular the activities of one Johan Tetzel, who had the slogan 'as soon as the coin in the coffer rings, the soul from purgatory springs.'
Luther sought to explain that a believers life should exhibit true repentance, and that money cannot remit sin, nor buy a persons way to heaven. While Luther's theology had not progressed to its final position in all matters, the beginnings of his evangelical doctrines are here applied to the practice of indulgences which is the subject throughout the 95 theses, with their associated theology.
Because he was mad at the Church for selling indulgences among many other things. Martin used these 95 theses (reasons) to form his own church.
______________________________________________________________ well, MY answer is much shorter. SOme ideas of he wanted to debate were ..

What explains the beginnings of the protestants reformation?
In short, Martin Luther found theological issues with Catholic doctrine, tried to get the problems corrected, and brought the issues to attention by nailing a list of the problems he found on the church door (known as the "41 Theses"). The leaders of the church refused to change anything and threatened to excommunicate Luther if he didn't retract his statements.
He refused, and was excommunicated from the Catholic church. He then founded his own church, known today as the Lutheran church. This started a trend of people making their own churches, like the King of England and the Anglican church.
If we think of the English reformation as starting in 1530 with the death of Wolsey it lasted till 1660 with the collapse of the Republic in in that year! The fall of the presbyterians was accompanied by the return of the Anglican,'Catholic,' Church and the old faith. In 1662 The Anglican Church canonised S.Charles of England giving the Church its first saint since Henry's time! But others ,especially scholars, think that the Reformation didn't end till the debacle in 1688 with the dethronment of James II, which apart from the political content saw the success of the Calvinists in reducing the Church in England from its place in the scheme of things. It was split with the Catholic and principled section going in to separation.This gravely weakened the Anglican Church and the Church was damaged by the Supreme Govenor being at one time a Calvinist, [William,] and following him, George of Hannover as a Lutheran.
What is the conflict between Protestants and Catholics post reformation?
A:
After the Reformation and the subsequent Catholic counter-Reformation, Catholics and Protestants gradually began to accept the existence of the others, even while believing that only their own positions were right. A continuing potential for conflict, or at least ill-will and suspicion, is that the Catholic Church insisted that as the true Church it must never be persecuted by non-Catholic secular authorities, but that Catholic rulers had the right and even the duty to persecute non-Catholics.
Only with the Second Vatican Council in 1965 did the Catholic Church acknowledge that non-Catholics had the right to freedom from persecution. This was met with some resistance from some Catholics, but the Church is now moving towards friendly relationships with Protestants and even atheists. Pope Francis recently asked all Christians to pray for peace and for the non-religious to desire peace - a remarkable concession to those outside the Catholic faith.

improved answer:
The inventing of the Printing press was a good innovation. It was a machine that transfers lettering or images by contact with various forms of inked surface onto paper or similar material fed into it in various ways. This helped many monks that wrote bibles and books by hand to make them faster helping the society that could (and couldn't) read them. The people that couldn't read then had more books and bibles to help them learn how to read making Europe a little less illiterate. Thanks Martin Luther
What was Martin Luther's major contribution to Protestantism?
How did martin luther contribute to the emergence protestantism in germany?
How did Luther Calvin and Henry VIII break with the Catholic Church?
wow...thats a real dumb answer....there certainly was theft by certain corrupt priests and some bishops may have been involved...there have been corrupt popes and heterodox popes...even in the present day...such as pope paul vi...the catholic faith never changed anything in the bible it always followed it in conjunction with tradition (as the originator of christianity)...after all the bible itself comes from tradition...it was established by the ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH at the COUNCIL of NICAEA in the 300's...so to all protestants that believe in sola scriptura (bible alone as a source of faith and teaching) know that ur bible was completely compiled and determined by the CATHOLIC CHURCH....
NOW TO ANSWER THE QUESTION
Martin Luther saw some real abuses in the ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH...corrupt thieving power and possession hungry bishops of noble birth....not to mention selling of indulgences...due to his lack of formal education and what not...he did not know the above teaching as it truly is...he had no love for philosophy or rational thought...so when the church addressed and corrected the issues at the council of trent...martin luther, not out of spite but simply with good intention (due to his lack of formal education) never came to terms with them...although he considered himself CATHOLIC till the day he died...Henry VIII wasp appointed defender of the faith (fidei defensor) by Pope Leo X due to his opposition to Martin Luther...Henry actually wrote a pamphlet attacking Luther's 95 theses...At a later time he wanted a male heir and seeing that his wife could not provide him one he requested a divorce....divorces are not alllowed... they already had a kid so an anullment (declaring that the marriage never existed) was out of the question...when the Pope would not grant hiim an anullment (and rightly so) he established his own church (with him as the head) in response...honestly i have no idea how somebody can be Anglican knowing this history...U recognize Thomas More (Henry's advisor who he executed because he would not leave Roman Catholicism) as a saint and he was executed by the founder of your faith who was a philanderer, serial wife murderer, and basically a big baby....so there

Luther confirmed he was the author but did not respond to the second question until the following day when he gave his "Unless I am convinced by the testimony of the Scriptures. . . "speech. Father Eck pointed out that every heretic who has ever existed said the same thing, and drew various nefarious arguments from the Sacred Scriptures, like Pelagius and Arius. He reminded Luther that Arius had used the Scriptures to prove that Jesus was not eternal. How was Luther any different? He was speaking like a heretic.
