True, there were abuses in the Roman Catholic church at the time, mainly by a pope who came from rich and powerful family (Medici), and spent lavishly and wanted to replenish the cash he wasted by selling indulgences.

Luther wanted to reform the church, however, the events that ensued, compounded by Luther's personality and style made the schim irreversible.

The church called him to answer for what he wrote. He did not obey. He found protection with a ruler. The church played the excommunication card. He responded by declaring the pope to be Anti Christ. His abrasive and confrontational character, and his fire and brimstone rhetoric made reconciliation impossible.

Had he been more like Calvin, reconciliation was possible

Luther was there, it is called the Diet of Worms, that told him to recant, he told them unless he was shown by scripture or plain reason it was not safe to recant. They could not show him where he was "in error"

And the the pope being the anti-christ "he sets himself up in the temple of God, and says blaspmis things" seams to fit the office of the pope.
