You missed the point. Martin Luther was not the Authority of the church. There was an authority above him on earth and he disregarded them and the Sacraments of the Church.

I understand that. I am saying the Pope is in the same posistion. He is not in authority over The Word.

No, the Pope is Christ's representative on earth as head of the faith today.
Christ put in place the first Pope Peter as His Head of the church on earth. There has been a line of Popes from Peter that now leads to the current Pope.
