From what I know, the reason Martin Luther was kind of kicked out of the Roman Catholic Church was that he believed in “sola scriptura” – that means, scripture only. The Roman Catholic Church teaches that the Pope can hand down doctrine (ex cathedra) that is equal to the Bible in its accuracy and import. Martin Luther believed that we should only look to the Bible, since it is unchanging and men are fallible. Also, I think Roman Catholics also believe that you can get to heaven from doing good works, while Luther and the other men of the Reformation thought that we are saved by grace alone.
