...arguing that anyone who criticized indulgences was guilty of heresy. Initially willing to accept a final verdict from Rome, Luther began to insist on Scriptural proof that he was wrong-and even questioned papal authority over purgatory. During an 18-day debate in 1519 with Theologian John Eck at Leipzig, Luther blurted out: "A council may sometimes err. Neither the church nor the Pope can establish articles of faith. These must come from Scripture." Instead of offering him Biblical proof, Pope Leo X issued a bull demanding Luther's recanting-on pain of excommunication-that began: "Arise, O Lord...
