Decet Romanum Pontificem

Decet Romanum Pontificem

      Today is the anniversary of the issuance by Pope Leo X in 1521 of the papal bull Decet Romanum Pontificem, pursuant to which the threatened excommunication of Martin Luther as set forth in Exsurge Domine was implemented.  The excommunication remains in full force and effect today.
