Luther's greatest heresy was to criticise the Catholic Church for selling indulgences. Prierias, Master of the Papal Palace, then declared any challenge to the sale of indulgences heretical.
Luther soon began to call into question many of the practices and theology of the Catholic Church. There was to be no compromise and, unable to have Luther captured, tried and executed, Pope Leo excommunicated him.
