Best Answer

A number of Papal Bulls were issued against him, and he was eventually excommunicated from the Catholic Church.

.

Catholic AnswerThe Church did not attempt to do things "against Martin Luther", they attempted to save him. They attempted to reason with him, and bring him back to the Church. And they attempted to limit the damage he was doing to other people's eternal souls. The Church never gives up on anyone, unless, they, themselves, give up and refuse help. At that point, they excommunicated him, which is very serious as it limits his access to the sacraments, and God's grace, as long as he remains impenitent.

from Wikipedia:

Decet Romanum Pontificem (English: It Pleases the Roman Pontiff) (1521) is the papal bull excommunicating Martin Luther, bearing the title of the first three Latin words of the text.[1] It was issued on January 3, 1521, by Pope Leo X to effect the excommunication threatened in his earlier papal bull Exsurge Domine (1520) since Luther failed to recant.[2] Luther had burned his copy of Exsurge Domine on December 10, 1520, at the Elster Gate in Wittenberg, indicating his response to it.
