There may be some confusion here. The Catholic Church doesn't say that the Pope cannot make mistakes.

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
