Martin Luther claimed that the papacy is the Antichrist, which was influenced by the events of his life, but also by Lorenzo Valla. The view that the papacy was the Antichrist was held by radical followers of Jan Hus and by most Protestants in the 16th and 17th centuries. However this view has changed in the modern day among many Protestants.
The belief that the Papacy is the Antichrist is still held by Seventh Day Adventists.
