Satan made good use of Martin Luther and Henry VIII, both 'good' Catholics, so why would Satan drop a successful strategy!

Hmm . . . "Catholic bashing" bad, calling Martin Luther the tool of Satan good. Got it.

Yours in Truth,

Luther's bouts with Satan were documented by Luther himself. Here is a short quote from a Luther site: Since his childhood Luther was pestered by devils, evil spirits, and deamons... He reported about such occurances during his later life as well, these fears of being attacked increased especially druing his time of seclusion at the Wartburg. Luther ascribed his depressions and moodswings to these 'evil spirits.' This constant fear of Satan is normal for the late-Middle Ages and rooted in the religious upbringing within his home and at school. Luther defended himself against this constant hostility through prayer, 'happy song' or more rigorously: by throwing his inkwell. Luther, awakened by the devil during the night, supposedly courageously defended himself against Satan by throwing an inkwell at him.
