Why did the pope wait to excommunicate Martin Luther?
He waited, because Luther had many people's attention and sympathies. The pope was hoping to pressure Luther to recant, so that his sympathizers would run to the Church of the pope. If Luther was excommunicated outright, those "followers" would likely stay with Luther and reject the imposed papal authority. When Luther was clear that he maintained his stand, he was excommunicated and many Christians went with him.

Why did Martin Luther promote anti semitism?
Martin Luther was a horrible anti-semite and this showed through in most of his writings. It probably influenced his decision to leave Catholicism as Catholicism is firmly based on Judaism, and considers the entire Old Testament as relevant to Christian life, and fulfilled in Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ. Martin Luther did more than reject the Old Testament, he rejected the Ten Commandments and the entire moral and ethical basis for Christianity.

Who started the protestant reformantion?
Really there is no "Protestant religion." It is a broad term often used by 1. Roman Catholics to refer to all other Christians who are not Roman Catholic 2. non-historic, non-denominational Christians who have no other formal title and 3. Non-Roman Catholic, Non-Eastern Orthodox Christians who want to clearly distinguish themselves as non-Roman Catholic. Others protested before him, but Martin Luther can be credited with the first truly revolutionary reformation movement. That being said, Lutherans have more in common with Roman Catholics, in belief and practice, than with the other modern Protestant Churches. Many Lutherans reject the label "Protestant," since it lumps them with the modern Evangelical movement. The Lutheran and Anglican Churches are the products of conservative reform movements. All other non-Roman Catholic and non-Eastern Orthodox churches are the product of radical reformation movements. Luther and his colleagues rejected the teachings of the founders of these radical Protestant movements as vehemently as he rejected the abuses of the Roman Catholic Church of his day.
