Johann Eck and Thomas Cajetan.
- Thomas Cajetan (Cardinal Cajetan) met and interrogated Luther at Augsburg in 1518 as the papal representative.
- Johann Eck debated and challenged Luther (notably at Leipzig, 1519) as a leading Catholic theologian and opponent.
Leo X was the pope who condemned Luther’s teachings but did not personally question him; Johann von Staupitz was Luther’s Augustinian superior (not a papal interrogator); Philip Melanchthon was Luther’s Protestant colleague.
