An example of excommunication is the case of Martin Luther in 1521. Luther, a German monk and theologian, was excommunicated from the Catholic Church by Pope Leo X due to his criticisms of church practices, particularly the sale of indulgences, and his challenge to papal authority. This act formally severed his ties with the Church and marked a significant moment in the Protestant Reformation.
