Not everything Luther said was always and everywhere wrong.

Therefore, if the Pope were to demand adherence to a novelty of doctrine that was inimical to the faith -- heresy, in other words -- I would be morally bound to reject that teaching.
I believe this is very close to the argument that Luther expressed at his trial. "the pope's decretals have thrown utter disorder into Christianity, have surprised, imprisoned, and tortured the faith of the faithful...contrary to the gospel." And 500 years BEFORE Luther the Eastern Orthodox had the same beef.
