What Wikipedia says

Decet Romanum Pontificem (from Latin: "It Befits the Roman Pontiff") is a papal bull issued on 3 January 1521 by Pope Leo X to excommunicate German theologian Martin Luther and some of his colleagues—notably Andreas Karlstadt—for refusing to recant forty-one theses censured in the earlier papal bull Exsurge Domine.
