Recap: Martin Luthers Background

In 1520, Pope Leo X excommunicated Luther, or expelled him from the Church. In 1521, Martin Luther was summoned to appear before the newly crowned Holy Roman Emperor, Charles V, and the German Diet, or assembly, at the city of Worms. Luther refused to change his opinions. The Holy Roman Emperor handed down the Edict of Worms. This decree declared that Luther to be an outlaw and condemned his writings. The edict did not prevent Luther's ideas from spreading, however. Although Martin Luther himself had not intended to begin a new religion, by 1530, Lutheranism was a formally recognized branch of Christianity.
