He is excommunicated.
After posting the 95 Theses (1517) Luther was condemned by the papacy — in 1520 Pope Leo X issued a bull (Exsurge Domine) threatening excommunication, and after Luther refused to recant he was formally excommunicated in 1521 (Decet Romanum Pontificem). He was later summoned to the Diet of Worms (1521) to defend his views before Emperor Charles V.
