Catholic AnswerWhen Martin Luther proved entirely intractable to reason, the Holy Father resorted to the most extreme punishment that the Church has: excommunication. In excommunication, a person is denied all of the sacraments until he repents and recants. M. Luther was so taken up in his sins, primarily sexual, and drinking, that he refused to give up the idea that God wanted him to sin, and he would save him in spite of himself. So the Holy Father excommunicated him and later appointed the Society of Jesus and others (notably St. Francis de Sales and others) to try to bring others to their senses. See link below.

What is Luther view on indulgences?

Pope Leo X ordered Luther to stop stirring up trouble. This attempt to keep Luther quiet had the opposite effect. Luther now started issuing statements about other issues.

Therefore, Luther argued, the Pope could not possibly be infallible.
