Controversies after the Diet of Worms MARTIN LUTHER: THE RELUCTANT REVOLUTIONARY PROF. M. M. NINAN Attempts to carry out the Edict of Worms were unsuccesful.For one, Martin Luther disappeared from the public and went into hiding. Although Roman Catholic rulers sought determinedly to suppress Luther and his followers, within two years it had become obvious that the movement for reform was too strong. By March 1522, when Luther returned to Wittenberg, the effort to put reform into practice had generated riots and popular protests that threatened to undermine law and order. Luther himself was very conservative in his outlook. After all he had no intension of splitting and forming a Christian sect. As for him, he never intended it. It was all force on him. God took control of everything. With the political, social and economic situation of Europe the change took place. The ice was broken. After the Edict of Worms, however, the cause of reform, Papal control was lost and the struggles within the theological realm at least remained a possibility with the legal and political level. Church lost its absolute control and the crucial decisions were now made in the halls of government and not in the studies of the theologians. By 1523 side by side with Luther, other charismatic leaders came in front, including Thomas Müntzer, Huldrych Zwingli, and Martin Bucer, with more radical changes in mind Thomas Muntzer : Huldrych Zwingli : Martin Bucer 47
