Before Luther came along there was Jan Hus, put to the stake by the Council of Constance 1414-1418 for saying among other things the following:

"23. The pope ought not to be called "most holy" even by reason of his office, for otherwise even a king ought to be called "most holy" by reason of his office and executioners and heralds ought to be called "holy", indeed even the devil would be called "holy" since he is an official of God."

It really goes straight to hell when lawyers, scribes and pharisees take over. The clear reasoning of Hus was more than the political structure of Catholicism could handle at the time, or even now.
