Are you saying they didn’t want him in Rome?

An invitation is not the same as a Wanted Dead or Alive poster. 'Twas my point. If the Church is the same tool of satan that many make it out to be, and Martin Luther doing the will of God, would not Martin Luther have been assassinated by a hateful and demonic Church. Does the fact that Martin Luther led a luxurious and privileged life, with his position at the University bought and paid for by the Church that he reviled, without fears of assassination or other retribution not strike you as being at odds to what most Protestants believe about this part of history?

Not at all, since the secular authorities of that area precluded the reach of the Catholics.

So he received an 'invitation'. Maybe he had re-read Matt 2 and decided not to go.
