Why was Martin Luther critical of the Roman Catholic Church?
The short answer is abuse of wealth and power in Rome. He believed that salvation was offered by God, not the church or its emissaries. At the time, the church was selling "indulgences", pieces of paper that got you into heaven, for a price. He never intended to split away from the church, but he would not be quieted about what he thought the church was doing wrong. He wrote "Disputatio pro declaratione virtutis indulgentiarum", known as the 95 Theses and nailed it to the door of the Castle Church in Wittenburg, Germany. The idea caught on like wildfire. Thus the Protestant Reformation was born.

When did the power of Roman Catholic Church decline?
A:The power of the Catholic Church, both temporally and spiritually, has ebbed and waned throughout history. A high point followed the eighth-century forgery of the Donation of Constantine, which Pope Stephen II successfully used to have lands "restored" to the Church, creating the Papal States. The Church was probably at its weakest when Emperor Charles defeated the army of Pope Clement VII and entered Rome in 1527. Charles seriously considered disbanding the papacy, but was dissuaded, uncertain of the outcome if the Catholic Church found itself leaderless. Charles imposed conditions, including that Clement call a Council to reform the Church, a condition Clement was continually able to postpone until his death. In the longer term, it was the Protestant Reformation that resulted in a decline in the absolute power of the Catholic Church, as it no longer had a monopoly on the beliefs of Christians. It was not until 1965 that the Catholic Church actually recognised this reality, when the Second Vatican Council pronounced the right of all to religious liberty, with the right to worship in whatever way they wished. Almost five hundred years after the time of King Henry VIII and Luther, the Church at last accepted its permanent loss of its previous power..Catholic AnswerFirst of all, there is no "Roman Catholic Church". It's just Catholic, not Roman Catholic. Roman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is never used by the official Catholic Church. Secondly, the Catholic Church never looked at its "power" as secular power, or the power that you are asking about. Individuals within the Church, no doubt, over the centuries have sought to gain secular power, and at some points in history Bishops and Popes had a lot of secular power, but this has never been the mission of the Church, the Church's power has always been that of her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and when she gets away from that, things go awry. In that sense, the Church's "power" cannot decline, only her perceived "power" in the secular world.

How has the decline of the roman empire help the rise of the Catholic church?
The Roman Empire persecuted the Catholic church. When the Roman empire began it's downfall, the Catholic church began to gain more and more power. When the Roman empire finally fell, the Catholic church was the most powerful figure around. Many people seeked help from the church. Monks and Nuns educated the children and poor, hungry people were fed. Just a little clarification. During the Roman empire there was no such thing as the Catholic Church. The religion was simply Christianity. Although initially there were many sects of Christianity, they finally united. It was not until the Protestant Revolt begun by Martin Luther that the denominations of Christianity came into existence, Catholic being one of them.
How did the Roman Catholic Church in Spain gain power?
Roman Catholic AnswerIt is a major mistake to judge the medieval Church by today's standards. The world was a very different place back then with very different stands. They look at things differently and had different priorities. The Church, as Christ's Church only "had" temporal power in that everyone in the government was Catholic and to a certain extent, just as King Henry VIII and Elizabeth I saw opposition to the Church of England as being a traitor to the crown; so the Spanish Kings saw opposition to the Catholic Church as being a traitor to the Spanish Crown. In England, they were protestant in during the late Renaissance, and in Spain they were Catholic, but so were the rulers. You can not judge them by today's standards that have developed in a pluralistic society, there was no such thing back then. The Church, itself, existed only to bring God to the people and vice versa.
