He was never elected Pope, so he was a humanist who was out there trying to make a church in his own image.

Q: If the Pope did the same, would he not be a Humanist? Maybe not in the historical sense of the word but by your defination of term.

The Pope today is the same as Peter who was the first Pope after Christ.
There is nothing similar at all about it.

Martin Luther was not given the "authority" of the church as Christ gave Peter and his successors.
