So did the "one true catholic church" (ahem) actually implement any of Luther's 95 Theses...? Even one ?

I mean he was a Catholic after all...

well, note that the 95 are not all criticism of Catholic doctrine. For example, #1 is "Our Lord and Master Jesus Christ, when He said Poenitentiam agite, willed that the whole life of believers should be repentance." or #94 or #48

In fact I would say that most non-Catholics would not agree with Luther's 95 points, like

41 Apostolic pardons are to be preached with caution, lest the people may falsely think them preferable to other good works of love.

etc. but the main theme is about i and quite frankly most if not all of what he argued against are gone.
