The Pope issued a papal bull threatening to excommunicate Luther if he did not recant in 90 days. Luther is said to have burned copies of the bull. Luther was excommunicated and Holy Roman Emperor Charles V was told to kill him on charges of heresy. Charles summoned him to Worms (verms) to be examined. Luther was declared a heretic. Luther had thirty days to return home before being declared an outlaw. On the way back to Wittenburg Luther was kidnapped by his friend a prince of Germany. the prince took him to a castle where luther lived in safety and translated the New Testament into German. Because Charles was busy with foreign affairs Luther was not bothered for the remainder of his life which he spent mostly in Wittenburg.

The Pope first asked Martin Luther to recant his heretical teachings and when he refused, he was excommunicated.

Julius died in 1513, and Luther did not appear 'on the stage' until 1517. So Julius did not know of Luther.

What did Martin Luther think of the pope not making mistakes?

There may be some confusion here. The Catholic Church doesn't say that the Pope cannot make mistakes. They merely say that when he defines a Church doctrine in the name of the Church, and for the entire Church, his definition will not be in error. Since the Church doesn't CLAIM that the pope makes no mistakes, then, we should not expect Martin Luther to have used the idea as an objection to the Church.Source: http://oce.catholic.com/index.php?title=Infallibility
