What happened at the diet of worms?

The Diet held in Worms in 1521 from 28th January to the 25th of May was presided over by Emperor Charles V. Fr. Johann Eck, an assistant to the local Archbishop presented Martin Luther with his writings, asked if they were his, and if he stood by what was in them. Luther confirmed he was the author but did not respond to the second question until the following day when he gave his "Unless I am convinced by the testimony of the Scriptures. . . "speech. Father Eck pointed out that every heretic who has ever existed said the same thing, and drew various nefarious arguments from the Sacred Scriptures, like Pelagius and Arius. He reminded Luther that Arius had used the Scriptures to prove that Jesus was not eternal. How was Luther any different? He was speaking like a heretic. Luther refused to recant and was declared a heretic and an outlaw of the state, and made it a crime for anyone in Germany to give Luther food or housing.


What did the pope and the catholic church do to martin Luther?

The Pope issued a papal bull threatening to excommunicate Luther if he did not recant in 90 days. Luther is said to have burned copies of the bull. Luther was excommunicated and Holy Roman Emperor Charles V was told to kill him on charges of heresy. Charles summoned him to Worms (verms) to be examined. Luther was declared a heretic. Luther had thirty days to return home before being declared an outlaw. On the way back to Wittenburg Luther was kidnapped by his friend a prince of Germany. the prince took him to a castle where luther lived in safety and translated the New Testament into German. Because Charles was busy with foreign affairs Luther was not bothered for the remainder of his life which he spent mostly in Wittenburg.
