Catholics call Luther a heretic. If you aren't Catholic nobody cares. Your Pope is a heretic and he will serve out his time. He affects all Christians because as Pope that is how he is perceived. Luther's gone, get rid of your serving heretic. That's right, you can't.

How do you expect a heretic to “clean house”?

You are a 'heretic'? The 'clean house' was for non-heretical Catholics. Get rid of that stooge. Now you know how Luther felt about his pope.

Sigh. Let me simplify it for you:

+Catholic pope excommunicates a heretic, Martin Luther.

+Said heretic starts his own religion.

+Current pope attempts to rehabilitate said heretic and actually celebrates his revolt.

+ergo, current pope is a heretic.
