Understanding history, this image is even better. Luther did not "Start the Reformation" to make a new church, like some claim. Neither did he do it to overthrow the papacy. Rather, he saw a sinful and unbiblical practice happening, the selling of indulgences, and he was upset that some traveling Catholics would dare scheme money from people under the pretense of approval of the magisterium. He wrote letters to the pope, honest and heartfelt, desperately requesting that this holy father would put a stop to these wicked clergy. He assumed that the papacy was unfamiliar with what was going on, and would be likewise outraged when the magisterium found out... But it turns out that the corruption ran much deeper than he assumed. Luther was stunned to find that rather than correction for people like Tetzel, the Magisterium seemed to protect him and defend his behavior. Of course this led Luther to writing more letters, traveling to Rome in person, doing everything he could to see the sale of indulgences resolved. Certainly, he thought, it was just a few bad apples. Certainly, he thought, Mother Rome would be eager to fix this corruption. This gradual realization that the corruption went all the way up to the pope, over the course of years, is not what many Roman Catholics hear about. Instead the online explanation is that one day some random dude decided to Mary a nun and start his own church. The history is well documented, many of the letters were made public, there really isn't an excuse for the false narrative to be promoted unless dishonesty is the goal.
