Martin Luther left his Religious Order (the Augustinians) without asking permission. He then proceeded to break all of his solemn lifelong vows that he had taken. He "married" an ex-nun (he had taken a lifelong vow of celibacy - not to get married). They moved into a house with a cellar full of good German beer, and Martin Luther proceeded to rewrite and otherwise mutilate the Sacred Scriptures. He then formed his very own religion on his own personal ideas of salvation, ignoring what Our Blessed Lord, and His Apostles had specifically taught. Subsequently, he was excommunicated from the Church for his intransigence, his heresy, his publicly and spectacularly breaking all of his vows.

How did the church respond after Martin Luther's Protest?

He was tried and convicted of heresy. After which, the Pope issued a bull condemning the various theses that Martin Luther was requested to retract (first Bull attached below), after he spurned Rome, then Decet Romanum Pontificem was issued which excommunicated Martin Luther and his followers. Nearly every account of the trial available on the web is nearly a complete fabrication by protestants. Martin Luther is repeatedly affirmed as condemning the forgiveness of sins through indulgences. Whereas, in actual fact, no one in their right mind has ever maintained that indulgences forgive sin. Martin Luther certainly should have known better, as supposedly he was an ordained priest and a doctor of theology. He was excommunicated, he refused to retract.
