Well, it was a little more complicated than that. Charles V decided that he wanted to rule Germany (the Holy Roman Empire) rather than just reign. Plus he has incurred the wrath of Francis I and the jealousy of Henry VIII by outbidding them for the German throne. Plus they were not happy about the gold that was leaving the country for Rome, primarily for a new Crusade but which was being used to build churches in Rome, and to protect the papal states from the other Italian princes. Luthers reforms were a useful tool for princes in their resistance to the Kaiser and to the papal taxation.

And today you have the TRC sects and schisms due to Rome's liberal redefining herself in
contrast to the past.
