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. Luther’s reforms were a useful tool for princes in their resistance to the Kaiser and to the papal taxation.

Rome/CC is all about confusion, complications and untruths.

Luther, doing the will of The Father, exposed them for being counterfeit/teaching untruths and he's been a thorn in their side every since.
