Like a good Father, Pope Leo X attempted to reason with Martin Luther, and even offered him safe conduct to Rome so that they could meet personally, and discuss Luther's "issues". All attempts at reconciliation and even friendly gestures from Luther's superiors, of which the pope was the highest on earth, were, not just rebuffed, but actually belittled by M. Luther, which is just beyond comprehension.

At the links below you will find two Papal Bulls by Pope Leo X, the first, Exsurge

Domine

is the Bull he issued condemning the errors of Martin Luther on 15 June 1520; the second, Decet

Romanum

Pontificem

is the Bull of Excommunication of Martin Luther and all his followers issued on 3 January 1521.
