You are right - I'm wrong. Luther tried to reform the church, but it didn't work out...he wasn't worried about people outside of the church to begin with - he was upset because they were selling indulgences (give a priest money, be forgiven for your sins). He was then excommunicated and started his own church.

That better?

It seems to me that you left out some steps along the way to how Luther got excommunicated. ;^)
