. Martin Luther's purpose for writing the 95 Theses was to reform the Catholic Church.Luther's Theses primarily challenged the practice of indulgences, which he believed were corrupting the Church's spiritual authority. He wanted to initiate a debate within the Church about these practices, hoping to spur internal reform, not to break away and create a new church. While his actions ultimately *led* to the Protestant Reformation, that was not his initial goal in writing the 95 Theses.
