Luther nailed his 95 theses to the church door in Wittenberg, Germany on October 31, 1517, and with his act Western Christianity would never be the same. The Pope excommunicated Luther a few years later and gave a long list of reasons why Luther's beliefs conflicted with the Church. One of those reasons is that Luther taught that the burning of heretics was against the will of the Holy Spirit.
