feb 1, 1521 - Diet of Worms

Description:

Charles V summoned a diet of worms, or a council of many Catholic clergies, to debate about the new rise of Luther's Protestant beliefs. He threatened to ex-communicate Luther if he did not rescind his beliefs, but Luther refused and continued to spread Protestantism. This event truly marks one of the first conflicts between Catholicism and the newly founded Protestant, but also serves to represent Luther's unwavering piety and devotion to reforming the Church, which also led him to gain support due to his resilience.
