How did Pope Leo X punish Martin Luther?
Like a good Father, Pope Leo X attempted to reason with Martin Luther, and even offered him safe conduct to Rome so that they could meet personally, and discuss Luther's "issues". All attempts at reconciliation and even friendly gestures from Luther's superiors, of which the pope was the highest on earth, were, not just rebuffed, but actually belittled by M. Luther, which is just beyond comprehension. At the links below you will find two Papal Bulls by Pope Leo X, the first, Exsurge Domine is the Bull he issued condemning the errors of Martin Luther on 15 June 1520; the second, Decet Romanum Pontificem is the Bull of Excommunication of Martin Luther and all his followers issued on 3 January 1521.

The Church does not punish the child for the sins of the parents.
Does the Catholic Church have the right to tell its membership how to vote?
The Catholic Church in the United States does not tell its members which candidates to vote for, nor are candidates invited to speak in Catholic churches. To do so would be to violate the law for tax-exempt organizations. The Catholic Church in the United States does give its members guidelines on certain key issues in which grave moral evil is present intrinsically. Those Catholics who seek to follow the Lord Jesus Christ in all things, and who would be horrified if they discovered after the fact that they had supported a platform which was gravely evil in His sight, appreciate this guidance from their Church leaders. Catholics for whom the avoidance of grave moral evil is not a priority remain free to disregard the Church's directives; no one has the right to ask how they voted or for whom, and no one will punish them.
Why was the Catholic Church powerful?
Throughout most of the Middle Ages, the Catholic Church had a monopoly for religion in western Europe. Few would challenge the Church for fear of eternal damnation. Those the Church wished to punish could be excommunicated, which meant the disgrace of being unable to be buried in the church cemetery, as well as being thought to suffer an eternity in hell. The church often also referred those it regarded as criminals to the secular authorities for trial and appropriate punishment, thus relieving the clergy of the stain of blood on their hands. Any secular ruler who failed to implement the wishes of the church in these matters would himself risk punishment by the Church. Thus, the Catholic Church was feared absolutely. When it was in the interests of the Church to do so, it could invite one ruler to invade another kingdom in order to eliminate a troublesome king, under the promise of the right to annexe territory. The Catholic Church eventually eliminated the troublesome Cathar non-Catholic sect in what is now southern France, by inviting the king of France to invade and annexe the Cathar territory. Thousand of western Christians heeded the Church's call for Crusades in the Holy Land, although the motivation was often for plunder, adventure and sport. On the other hand, the Catholic Church held to itself the sole right to try or punish its own clergy. After the end of the Roman Empire, even the most powerful kings were not able to move against members of the clergy who challenged them or committed crimes against the secular laws. The Church built up huge landholdings, worked by serfs or slaves, and its wealth was greater than any one kingdom.
