Pope Leo X ordered Martin Luther to renounce 41 of his 95 Theses and to stop preaching about them in his sermons. If Luther didn't stop the Pope warned Luther would be excommunicated from the Church. Luther responded to the Pope by burning the papal bull publicly. The fight to the death begins!

Martin Luther continues to plow into the opposition, it will end badly for one of them!
Should the church be allowed to dictate how you should think on spiritual matters? In Luther's day those who thought not protested that the authority of the Bible and the freedom of conscience should be above the tradition of the church.
