to nail on the church door???

Could you please explain to me the meaning of "to nail on the church door". As far as I understand, it means that someone is doing/saying (a) very unusual thing(s).

How can I translate this sentence by using some other words:"One inquires, therefore, as to the theses that Mr. Thompson nails on the church door regarding the ethics of literary art. "

Thanks in advance...

As Philip explained, it's important that you understand how this related to Martin Luther, however. The audacity he displayed in nailing his protests to the church door ... that would be lost if you took it simply as "to proclaim."
