Another answer from our community:
Actually, Martin Luther, as an Augustinian Friar, doubly under vows both to his bishop, and to his Order, was in no position to pass judgment on the Body of Christ, which is what the Catholic Church is. Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ, guaranteed the Catholic Church until the end of the world, and set St. Peter (and his successors) over it, sending the Holy Spirit to guide it always. Any such judgment on Martin Luther's part would be presumption of the worst kind of sin.
However, I am sure there are those who would say that his being a priest and a religious gave him the position to make judgment on the Catholic Church, but they would all be protestants anyway.

Who created the Lutheran church?
His followers. I have been raised Lutheran and I have learned that Martin Luther's original intentions were not at all to break with the Catholic church, he in fact encouraged his followers not to break from the church, he just wanted to change the corruptness of it and focus more on the Bible. The way I understand it to be is that Martin Luther's followers (not Martin Luther, it was after his death) broke from the Catholic church because they recognized the strength of the church itself and were insulted by the fact that the Catholic church excommunicated Luther.
What declaration caused Martin Luther to be excommunicated from the Catholic Church?
Martin Luther was excommunicated from the Catholic Church due to his Ninety-Five Theses, which he posted on the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg, Germany, in 1517. In these theses, Luther criticized the selling of indulgences by the Catholic Church, questioning its authority and practices. This led to a chain reaction of events that ultimately resulted in Luther's excommunication in 1521.
