What are the positives of religion?

That would be true if it was true. But it's not.

Pope Leo X deployed a series of papal theologians and envoys against Luther. First, the Dominican theologian Sylvester Mazzolini drafted a heresy case against Luther.

Luther's confrontation with the church cast him as an enemy of the pope. Cajetan's original instructions had been to arrest Luther if he failed to recant. Luther slipped out of the city at night, unbeknownst to Cajetan.

Luther's boldest assertion was that Matthew16:18 does not confer on popes the exclusive right to interpret scripture. For this, Eck branded Luther a new Jan Hus, referring to the Czech reformer and heretic burned at the stakein 1415. From that moment, he devoted himself to Luther's defeat.

On 15 June 1520, the Pope warned Luther that he risked excommunication unless he recanted 41 sentences drawn from his writings, including the Ninety-five Theses, within 60 days.

Luther was excommunicated by Pope Leo X on 3 January 1521.

That's what "censored" means. BAM! I took your panties down and gave you another spanky spanky!
