The Papal Bull of 1517, challenged the authority of the Catholic Church, by dismissing its highest theological authority the Catholic Council of Bishops. Conciliarism was defeated by the papacy and a new Council was appointed by the papacy to serve the papacy, rather than the Catholic Church. Dr. Martin Luther, a Catholic theology professor at Wittenberg Seminary, posted the 95 Theses in opposition to the papal overthrow of the Catholic Council of Bishops and other heresies committed by the papacy. Dr. Martin Luther was excommunicated in 1521; alongside the Dean of Theology at Wittenberg Seminary, Dr. Andreas Rudolph Bodenstein von Karlstadt who held three Doctorates.
