I guess they didn't bury Luther deep enough, did they?

Interesting. Among the Greeks (or maybe us Greeks, my Greek mother-in-law has undergone an upsurge in piety in her old age and has declared me to be Greek since I’m Orthodox) the saying is “The fish rots from the head.” A metaphor for the opposite view of the source of institutional corruption to what yours suggests.
