Luther had many complaints against the Roman Catholic Church.
He made a list of his grievances called the 95 theses and pinned them to the church door. These were intended only for scholars as it was written in Latin (the language of the scholars) but soon it was translated into German and was circulated among the people.
One of Luther's biggest problems with the church was the selling of indulgences. People believed they could buy their way out of sin without any faith aspect at all. Johann Tetzel said, "As soon as the coin in the coffer rings, a soul from Purgatory springs." Luther believed that indulgences were not right and biblical and would not bring people to heaven. He accused the church of leaving people in their sin instead of showing them the way to heaven.
Luther believed that you could not get to heaven by doing good works but by faith and faith alone.
amazing answer, was very helpful
that the church sold indulgences
Martin Luther's criticism of the Catholic Church was written in a his famous pamphlet called "95 Theses". It was basically a critism against the indulgence which was put into practice by the Catholic Church during the papacy of Pope Leo X..In which, for Luther, indulgence is being sold.
That the congregation of the church should be able to understand what the priest is saying. That the priests should not get the people to pay to 'get into heaven' because he believed that you can't pay to get into heaven and the money that the people gave them they spent on themselves
I know two of them were indulgences & the belief that the Eucharist LITERALLY is the body & blood of Christ, I think the 3rd was the infallability of the pope, but I'm not 100% sure on that one

His followers. I have been raised Lutheran and I have learned that Martin Luther's original intentions were not at all to break with the Catholic church, he in fact encouraged his followers not to break from the church, he just wanted to change the corruptness of it and focus more on the Bible. The way I understand it to be is that Martin Luther's followers (not Martin Luther, it was after his death) broke from the Catholic church because they recognized the strength of the church itself and were insulted by the fact that the Catholic church excommunicated Luther.
