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.
