Just WHY did Martin Luther tack those 95 things to the doors anyway??

Because he had an insufficient understanding of St. Thomas Aquinas. The Catholic and Lutheran churches have issued a joint statement on the issue of justification, meaning that they no longer disagree on what Luther saw as the central issue. My theology professor in college always said that there was no real disagreement on that point, but that Luther just didn't understand what Aquinas was saying. I actually think Luther was a brave and sincere man, and a genius in many ways, but he wasn't perfect.
