Indeed it was the very pomp (and all the circumstances that went with it) that led Christ to accuse the practitioners of being “whited sepulchres.”

Exactly. It was the priests and the Temple that had Him mad against all that. On the cross when Yashua said “it is finished” He was talking about the Law. He fulfilled all that was necessary under the Law. We now had a direct line to G-d through Yashua.

>>It was the fact the Pharisees didn't practice what they preached. You are reading stuff into the text that wasn't there.
The Puritans founded a new religion rather than reforming the old one. Jesus didn't attack the Pharisees for what they wore. He attacked them for what they did.
As a former Lutheran, I can attest that Luther didn't share your POV. Lutheran worship has never experienced this sort of iconoclasm.
