Martin Luther believed that the papacy needed to be reformed if corruption were to be eliminated from within the Catholic Church.
He was excommunicated (out lawed), it was the papacy that did it.
There was no such thing as Germany when Martin Luther lived, and this is critical to understand. There were over 100 separate and independent German statelets. The power and political influence of the papacy over each of these various German statelets was quite high. In order to weaken the power of the papacy, a number of German statelets seized upon the religious separatism of Martin Luther as an excuse to pursue political separation from the papacy. Most of the German statelets in the north supported Martin Luther under this guise. Most of the German statelets in the south preferred to stay in league with the Catholic Church than forsake it for Luther's heresies.

The papacy were the elected head of the church and many of them were corrupt. One of the things Luther protested against was papal abuses and the wealth and corruption of the papacy. They were not interested in bringing Christianity closer to the common people; they had the common people under their collective thumbs, and it suited them to be able to charge indulgences and increase their own personal wealth.
