Although not a protestant himself at first, Frederick the Wise: 1) Made Luther a professor at a new university he founded at Wittenberg 2)Tolerated Luther's objections against papal indulgences. 3) Negotiated an amnesty for Luther at an enquiry into Luther's beliefs at the Diet of Worms chaired by Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor on behalf of the pope. 4) Took Luther into 'protective custody' after Luther was condemned at the diet of Worms by Charles (and thus the pope) 5) Allowed the publication and distribution of Luther's arguments throughout Saxony and beyond. 6) Gave confidence to other 'Electors' and German princes to question the total authority of Rome.
Mary I was a catholic. She burned protestants at the stake because she believed everyone should bow to Papal authority.

"Vicarius Filii Dei" is a Latin phrase meaning "Vicar of the Son of God." Historically, it has been associated with the papacy and the role of the Pope as a representative of Christ on Earth. Some interpretations suggest that the title emphasizes the Pope's spiritual authority within the Catholic Church. However, it is important to note that the phrase is not officially used in contemporary papal titles.
Cesare Borgia, an Italian nobleman and a prominent figure during the Renaissance, primarily lived in the region of Romagna, Italy. He was born in Rome, where he spent much of his early life, and later ruled various territories, including the city of Cesena and the Duchy of Valentinois. Borgia's political maneuvers and ambitions often led him to reside in different locations throughout central Italy, particularly in the Papal States.
According to Martin Luther, papal pardons can not grant forgiveness for sins or save a person's soul. Luther believed that true forgiveness and salvation could only come from God through faith and repentance, not through the purchase of indulgences.
It would seem the Martin Luther attacked papal pardons from a position of ignorance as careful reading, say of his 95 Theses, seems to indicate the Martin Luther, himself, did not understand what indulgences actually are, and his followers certainly did not. Martin Luther, despite his supposed position as a teacher of theology never evidences a real understanding of Catholic Theology, but, instead, manifests a vast ignorance of Catholic theology. His arguments are only sad, and the fact that people followed him out of the Church on the strength of his arguments is even sadder.
Martin Luther burned the papal bull of excommunication
Martin Luther was against the purchase of "indulgences" which were granted as absolution for sinful acts for a "donation" priced according to the level of the offense.
Burned it
In Wittenberg, Germany, December of 1520
Luther burned the papal bull, because that was the best thing to do. Seriously! Since the papacy had for many centuries been the seat of hypocrites who lived in open or hidden sin, the word of the pope carried no more weight than the grunting of a pig. Why bother about a papal bull? Rather burn it to show your contempt for all that its author stands for.
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.
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.
