What was the Catholic Church's response to Martin Luther's 95 Theses?

 The Catholic Church responded to the challenges of Luther, Calvin, and the Protestant movement initially in a somewhat mild way, allowing Luther to argue his position. When Luther refused to retract his position, his theses were deemed heretical, he was excommunicated, and, after the Diet of Worms, support of Luther was prohibited.

it rather depends on the number of people voting in favor of the candidate.

this is an outcome of people's preferences.
