Best Answer

The Church reacted the same way that she would to any heretic, she tried everything in her power to save him. The Church, particularly the pope at that time, repeatedly made attempts to meet with Martin Luther even to providing him transportation to Rome to meet with the Holy Father. Martin Luther scorned every overture of the Church, and actually burned the Holy Father's invitation. At that point the Church reacted in the only way she could, by publicly condemning Luther's heretical propositions and excommunicating him. See attached links below.
