Luther criticised the power and practices of the Catholic Church. He wrote in his 95 theses that people could not buy off their sins (that is he was strongly against indulgences), only god could pardon sins; people should seek salvation by faithe alone; priests should be subject to the law similarly to ordinary people; priests were not of divine origin; The Bible should be read by everyone (the problem was that it was in Latin and just few people understood, later Luther translated the Bible into German); Church should not be interested in wealth and power. (These theses were nailed on the Castle door at Wittenberg in 1517)
