What happened when Martin Luther was brought before the Diet of Worms?
The Diet of Worms in 1521 was an imperial council that was convened to decide the fate of Martin Luther. It was held in Worms, Germany. The Holy Roman Emperor Charles V presided over the diet. Luther's Protestant views were condemned as heretical by Pope Leo X in the bull Exsurge Domine in 1520. As a result Luther was summoned to either renounce or reaffirm them at the Diet of Worms on 17 April 1521. When he appeared before the assembly Luther was presented with a table filled with copies of his writings. Johann van Eck asked Luther if he still believed what these works taught. Luther asked for time to think about his answer and he was given an extension. Luther prayed, consulted with friends and mediators and presented himself before the Diet the next day. When he was asked the same question the next day, Luther apologized for the harsh tone of many of his writings, but said that he could not reject the majority of them or the teachings in them. Luther respectfully but boldly stated, "Unless I am convinced by proofs from Scriptures or by plain and clear reasons and arguments, I can and will not retract, for it is neither safe nor wise to do anything against conscience. Here I stand. I can do no other. God help me. Amen." On May 25, Emperor Charles the Fifth issued his Edict of Worms, declaring Martin Luther an outlaw.

The Diet held in Worms in 1521 from 28th January to the 25th of May was presided over by Emperor Charles V. Fr. Johann Eck, an assistant to the local Archbishop presented Martin Luther with his writings, asked if they were his, and if he stood by what was in them. Luther confirmed he was the author but did not respond to the second question until the following day when he gave his "Unless I am convinced by the testimony of the Scriptures. . . "speech. Father Eck pointed out that every heretic who has ever existed said the same thing, and drew various nefarious arguments from the Sacred Scriptures, like Pelagius and Arius. He reminded Luther that Arius had used the Scriptures to prove that Jesus was not eternal. How was Luther any different? He was speaking like a heretic. Luther refused to recant and was declared a heretic and an outlaw of the state, and made it a crime for anyone in Germany to give Luther food or housing.

Who was Martin Luther?
Martin Luther was a German theologian and Augustinian monk whose teachings inspired the Reformation and deeply influenced the doctrines of the Protestant churches in general, and the Lutheran church in particular. Luther openly questioned the teachings of the Roman Catholic church, in particular, the nature of penance, the authority of the pope and the usefulness of indulgences. The Reformation of the church began on 31 October 1517, with Luther's act of posting his Ninety-Five Theses, more fully known as the "Disputation of Doctor Martin Luther on the Power and Efficacy of Indulgences", on the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg, Germany. The document contained an attack on papal abuses and the sale of indulgences by church officials. Controversy raged over the posting of the 95 Theses. Luther was excommunicated several years later from the Roman Catholic church for his attacks on the wealth and corruption of the papacy, and his belief that salvation would be granted on the basis of faith alone rather than by works. In 1521, the same year in which he was excommunicated, Luther was summoned before the Diet of Worms. The Diet was a general assembly of the estates of the Holy Roman Empire that occurred in Worms, Germany, from January to May in 1521. When an edict of the Diet called for Luther's seizure, his friends took him for safekeeping to Wartburg, the castle of Elector Frederick III of Saxony. Here, Luther continued to write his prolific theological works, which greatly influenced the direction of the Protestant Reformation movement.
