George asks…

can somebody tell me about the diet of worms?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Here is your historical answer:

1521, most famous of the imperial diets held at Worms, Germany. It was opened in Jan., 1521, by Holy Roman Emperor Charles V. After disposing of other business, notably the question of the Reichsregiment, the diet took up the question of the recalcitrant behavior of Martin Luther. Charles was induced to summon Luther, who arrived at Worms under a safe-conduct on Apr. 16. At the diet Luther was asked if he would retract his teachings condemned by the pope. After a day’s meditation he refused. For a week various theologians argued with him, but he would not retire from his ground. According to tradition Luther ended his defense on Apr. 18 with the words, “Here I stand. I cannot do otherwise. God help me. Amen.” Finally, on Apr. 26, the emperor, seeing that the dispute was fruitless, ordered Luther to leave the city. He was formally declared an outlaw in the Edict of Worms (May 25); the lines of the Reformation were thereby hardened.

He went to the Diet of Worms.

A diet was a general assembly of former states of the Roman Empire. This “diet” is not a food discipline.

Carol asks…

what is Diet of Worms from the 1500’s?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Ap Euro huh? Fun… Well the diet of worms is after Martin Luther posts his 95 theses and is summoned to a debate with John Eck. Basically they refute each other’s ideas. Later he attends the edict of worms which is when they sentence him to banishment and they excomunicate him from the catholic church for contadicting the policies of the church. His ideas become very popular and he starts the lutheran church.

Richard asks…

What are some reasons that Martin Luther was a conservative and some reasons he was a revolutionary?

I have to write an essay for history and i cant find why he was a conservative. I know he was a revolutionary because the revolution, the Diet of Worms, and the 95 Thesis…

weight loss cardiff answers:

You need to go to a library and read, a quick read, a book entitled HERE I STAND by Roland Bainton. That is the best biography on Luther for the average student.

He was conservative because he wanted to turn the Christian faith back to its original roots and liberal because he bucked Catholic authority by sticking to his guns on the 95 Theses. There is a lot more to it than that, those are the basics, and Bainton will tell you the rest.

Mark asks…

Why was the condemnation of Martin Luther in 1521 at Worms not enforced by the German nobility?

Please help!!! Major AP Euro test tomorrow!!! I know that his condemnation was not enforced, but I don’t know why. So,
Why was the condemnation of Luther in 1521 at the Diet of Worms not enforced by the German nobility? What was the result?
Thanks!!!

weight loss cardiff answers:

Because some of the German princes – especially Frederick, Elector of Saxony – were “Protestants” who opposed the Edict of Worms.

Frederick “kidnapped” Martin Luther after Luther was released by the Diet of Worms and protected him for the next several years. By this time, a number of German princes and a significant number of the German people had aligned themselves with Luther, and the Holy Roman Emperor was no longer in a strong political position to neutralize Luther.

Thomas asks…

What happend after Martin Luther posted the 95 Thesis on the Church doors?

Did he get submitted to the imperial diet of worms?
or was that before he posted them?
When did he interpertate the bible thing?
IM SO CONFUSED!!!! HELP!?!?

weight loss cardiff answers:

I am trying to figure this out too. I don’t really know what happened. But I know the Pope Leo X was trying to get Martin Luther to shut up basically. He didn’t want Martin to have any more influence. I know it caused a lot of violence. He survived the trip to Worms, and became famous. His idea’s “spread like wildfire” He eventually moved to Germany, married an ex-nun, had a large family, and then died in 1543 from a hard attack. I got this all from a website. Hope that helped/

Lisa asks…

what was martin luther (not king jr.) accused of at the diet of worms?

i know he was accused of being a heretic, but my teacher said he was also accused of other things.. but i cant find anything else.

weight loss cardiff answers:

The Diet of Worms resulted in the Edict of Worms. This Edict, issued by Holy Roman Emperor Charles V, condemned Martin Luther as a heretic and it authorizes the censoring of Luther’s work, making Luther’s writings illegal to read or have, as well as, the arrest of Martin Luther. Due to a number of circumstances, it was not really enforced.

Betty asks…

besides giving the speech ath the diet of worms, what else did martin luther do during the reformation period?

weight loss cardiff answers:

He translated the Bible into German, continued to be a professor of Theology at the University of Wittenburg, he wrote a bunch of letters and books, hosted many parties at his house for his friends (They were the talk of the town, or the country I should say! People from all over Europe would come to his house just to have dinner with him and participate in his evening sing-alongs!), got married and fathered six children, wrote a lot of beautiful poetry and hymns including “A Mighty Fortress is Our God” and “Dear Christians, one and all, Rejoice” (My personal favorite!). Basically, he got on the Pope’s nerves a lot, and led many out of the dark into the Light of Christ.

William asks…

Why was the Diet of Worms significant to the Reformation?

I know what it was, but why was it significant to the development of the Reformation? Thanks!!!

weight loss cardiff answers:

It was at the Diet of Worms where Martin Luther was told to recant his blasphemy and reaffirm his loyalty to the Catholic Church. Neither one happened and the Reformation became widespread. Luther was excommunicated and went into hiding.

George asks…

Luther stood before Charles V at the Diet of Worms?

But Charles V was French? Diet Of Worms was in Germany. Was it that all of the leaders attended?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Charles V was actually Flemish (modern Belgium) but spoke French primarily in his youth as was born in Ghent and raised in Brussels.

Charles also became the Holy Roman Emperor – basically the King of Germany. Every so often, usually with several years in between, the Emperor would call a Diet somewhere within the Empire in which he would meet with German princes and clergy and release laws (edicts), discuss foreign policy, etc.

Charles had become alarmed at the popularity and momentum of Luther’s teachings and many princes and clergy considered them heretical. He requested Luther’s attendance at a the Diet in Worms in 1521 and guaranteed him safe passage to come and defend himself in person against the claims of his enemies. Luther did show up and defended himself but Charles was not convinced of his arguments and released the Edict of Worms which was a new law forbidding the teaching of Luther’s doctrine within the Empire on pain of death. Some think that Charles planned on arresting Luther despite his promise of safe passage, as had been done with the similar case of Jan Huss of Bohemia roughly a century before. But Frederick the Elector of Saxony, was a staunch Lutheran and protected him and arranged his escape from Worms.

Michael asks…

What was the Diet of Worms, and what was its significance to the reformation?

can someone help me i need to know before october 27th at 8 am est

weight loss cardiff answers:

Diet of Worms

The Diet of Worms (Reichstag zu Worms) was a general assembly (a Diet) of the estates of the Holy Roman Empire that took place in Worms, a small town on the Rhine river located in what is now Germany. It was conducted from January 28 to May 25, 1521, with Emperor Charles V presiding. Although other issues were dealt with at the Diet of Worms, it is most memorable for addressing Martin Luther and the effects of the Protestant Reformation.

The previous year, Pope Leo X had issued Exsurge Domine, demanding that Luther retract 41 purported errors, some from his 95 theses criticising the Church, others from other writings and sayings attributed to him. Luther was summoned by the emperor to appear before the Imperial Diet. Prince Frederick III, Elector of Saxony, obtained an agreement that if Luther appeared he would be promised safe passage to and from the meeting. Such a guarantee was essential after the treatment of John Hus, who was tried and executed at the Council of Constance in 1415, despite a safe conduct pass.
