I thought it was because of the behavior of the popes, and they added on ceremonies to the religion that were not originally in the bible'

and that they behaved so sexually open............and that they were getting further away from The Bible, and the teachings as they were truly written.

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.

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. For example, at that time people believed that the Pope was infallible (incapable of error). However, Luther was convinced that Leo X was wrong to sell indulgences. Therefore, Luther argued, the Pope could not possibly be infallible.


Who was pope at the time of the reformation?

Pope Julius II (1503-13), the 'Warrior Pope', was in power when Martin Luther became a Doctor of Theology in 1512. Pope Julius II firmly and diplomatically reasserted temporal strength in the papacy, and it was the selling of indulgences for his ambitious building projects that first irked Luther. But there were several Popes spanning Luther's life (1483-1546) and Reformation activities. Luther gained Reformation prominence in 1517 with his 95 Theses, and it was Leo X (1513-21), a Medici, who excommunicated Luther in 1521. But Leo X also died that year, and his cousin, Pope Clement VII (1523-34), joined with Emperor Charles V as Luther's adversary for the next decade. Pope Paul III's (1534-49) Counter-Reformation in the Council of Trent (1545) perhaps stands in greatest contrast to Luther and the Protestant Reformation, as Luther's health failed in the final 15 years of his life.
