Writings of Martin Luther (1483-1546) circulated widely | 11th Grade
The Pope demanded an explanation of his writings

The writings of Martin Luther (1483-1546) circulated widely, reaching France, England, and Italy as early as 1519, and students thronged to Wittenberg to hear him speak.

When the Pope demanded an explanation of his writings, Luther wrote a summary and explanation of his theses to the Pope. While the Pope may have conceded some of the points, he did not like the challenge to his authority, so he summoned Luther to Rome. At that point Frederick the Wise, the Saxon Elector, intervened. He did not want one of his subjects to be sent to Rome to be judged by Italians, so he prevailed on the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V to arrange a compromise.

An arrangement was effected, whereby the Pope's summons was cancelled. On June 15, 1520, the Pope warned Luther that he risked excommunication unless he recanted 41 sentences drawn from his writings.

Luther publicly set fire to a bull (papal bull (edict)) from the Pope on December 10, 1520. As a consequence, Luther was excommunicated by Leo X on January 3, 1521.
