Leipzig Debates against Eck on the nature of the word, sacraments, and the power/ primacy of the Pope
Because he confronted an empire and a system of power
Martin Luther was considered a heretic by the Catholic Church.
No, instead he was excommunicated as a heretic.
I think Martin Luther was declared a heretic not Martin Luther King.Martin Luther King, the American civil rights leader, was never declared a heretic by the Catholic Church.His namesake, Martin Luther, a 15th century Catholic monk, was however declared a heretic for teaching ideas and holding positions the Catholic Church understood to be false and a danger to the Faith as taught by the Church. His failure to stop his teaching of matters opposed to Catholic doctrine also brought him the penalty of being excluded from the Catholic community of believers, thus excommunicated.
The edict of Worms.
The Edict of Worms was issued on the 25th of May, 1521 by the Holy Roman Empire, Charles V and the Pope. It banned all the writings of Martin Luther. Labeled him a heretic and enemy of the state.
The pope and several Roman Catholic monarchs.
They labeled him as an outlaw.
Martin Luther never took over the Christian Church, he was excommunicated from it in 1521 in the bull Decet Romanum Pontificem: Papal Bull on the Condemnation and Excommunication of Martin Luther, the Heretic, and his Followers, January 3, 1521.
.Catholic AnswerThe Bull, Decet Romanum Pontificem (It please the Roman Pontiff) excommunicated the heretic, Martin Luther, was issued on January 3, 1521.
No. Perhaps you are confusing him with Jan Hus, who was burnt at the stake as a heretic in 1415.
The bible.
