Answer
Luther publicly denounced Müntzer, severing ties and condemning his former ally's increasingly radical views. He labeled Müntzer a "seditious man" and urged secular authorities to take action against him. This marked a definitive split between the two figures, with Luther aligning himself more firmly with the established powers and distancing himself from the revolutionary fervor that Müntzer represented.
