Answer: The Catholic Church condemned Luther and his followers, and responded with its own Counter-Reformation.
Explanation/detail:
The leadership in Rome issued condemnations of Luther's teachings and placed the territories following him under the "interdict," meaning a prohibition of priests administering sacraments among them. But priests and people both followed along with Luther and the Lutheran Church was established in Germany.
The Roman Catholic Church also responded to the Protestant Reformation in a number of ways intended to strengthen its own stance and its hold on church power. This movement by the Catholic Church is known as the Counter-Reformation or the Catholic Reformation. It included a number of features, such as:
- The formation of religious orders that aimed to build allegiance to Rome and the papacy, and to educate people in Catholic teaching. The Society of Jesus, known as the Jesuits for short, was a key order of this sort. The order was founded by Ignatius of Loyola in 1534, along with Francis Xavier and several others. Pope Paul III gave his full approval to the Jesuit order in 1540.
- The Council of Trent served to reform some abuses that were acknowledged by the Catholic Church, but mostly to assert the full authority of Roman power and doctrine over the Protestant threat. The Council of Trent held meetings over a span of years from 1545 to 1563. The Council also commissioned the publication of a catechism to properly educate Catholic clergy in the church's teachings.
- The Roman Inquisition was founded in 1542 by Pope Paul III to act as an investigative body in regard to threats to Rome's teachings. About a century later, Galileo would be one of the most famous persons tried by the Roman Inquisition.

I won't write an entire conversation going back and forth but I will give some pointers to get you started. Remember this is my opinion, only.
I think it's a great idea to tax junk food and soda's a little more hefty. I feel that we have such an obesity and morbid obesity epidemic and we're literally laughed at all over the globe. If people cannot afford to pay for the excess taxes on these products, they will be able to eat better. Now, on the other side of that argument, the healthier foods and produce should be left MINIMUMALLY taxed and lowered cost. Almost the opposite way of how it currently is in America.
The healthy produce and healthy foods/meats/cheeses, etc are very expensive and people would rather get more for their money thereby, they'll get junk foods and soda because it's cheaper. If we flip this around economically, by default American's would more than likely eat better.
I also feel that junk food/soda's etc should not be covered in food stamps but that's another topic.
