Here is Martin Luther in his own words:
"It is a sweet and pious belief that the infusion of Mary’s soul was effected without original sin; so that in the very infusion of her soul she was also purified from original sin and adorned with God’s gifts, receiving a pure soul infused by God; thus from the first moment she began to live she was free from all sin"
- Martin Luther's Sermon "On the Day of the Conception of the Mother of God," 1527.
Why is this news?
Luther made many mistakes. But, does this mean he is seen as an authority to you? If so, then I have a bunch of info you need to recognize...
We do honor her. She is blessed among women. We just don’t make a big show of it.

Martin Luther was a roman catholic priest.. took him a lifetime to get de-programmed.. and he was only partially successful..
catholics only love/use Luther when he’s convenient, and in this case, when he’s also wrong.
Before or after he rejected common Catholic heresies?
"I am the Mother of Mercy, the joy of the just, and the gate to God for sinners. In the fire of Purgatory there is no suffering that through my intercession would not be more easily bearable than otherwise. No one is so damned that, as long as he lives, he will lack my mercy. No one is so far from God, if he is not completely accursed, that he may not come back to God and obtain mercy when he appeals to me...[emphasis, mine]
From my Son's birth until His death, I was filled with grief. Tears used to come into my eyes when I gazed at His hands and feet, which the nails were going to pierce...when I meditated on His future Passion...and when I saw the Prophets' sayings concerning Him all being fulfilled...And now I look at all the human beings on earth to see whether maybe there are a few who feel compassion for me and who think of my sorrows, but I find very few who mediate on my suffering and sorrows. Therefore, my daughter, do not forget me, for I am forgotten and ignored by many. See my grief, and imitate me as well as you can..." --Mary, Mother of Mercy, Saints Who Saw Mary
