First off, it's just Catholic, not Roman Catholic. Roman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is never used by the official Catholic Church. . Secondly, Martin Luther never started a movement to reform the Catholic Church, Martin Luther LEFT the Catholic Church to start his own Church.
