"His name is Jesus Christ,
Son of God.
:23:05
Where He is,
there I shall be also."
:23:38
Prince Frederick wants him silenced.
:23:40
You should have stopped him,
Carlstadt. Forbidden him.
:23:43
Forbidden him, Spalatin?
:23:45
To teach theology?
:23:47
He undermines the prince.
:23:49
Come on, there is no
clear teaching on relics.
:23:52
When I became a monk,
:23:53
I believed the monk's cowl
would make me holy.
:23:56
Was I an arrogant fool?
:24:00
Now they have made me
a doctor of divinity,
:24:02
and I'm tempted to believe
that this scholar's robe
:24:07
will make me wise.
:24:09
Well, God once spoke
through the mouth of an ass.
:24:14
Perhaps he's about to
do so again.
:24:16
But I'll tell you straight
what I think.
:24:22
Who here has been to Rome?
:24:25
Did you buy an indulgence?
:24:28
No.
:24:29
I did.
:24:32
For a silver florin, I freed
my grandfather from Purgatory.
:24:40
For twice that, I could have sprung
grandma and Uncle Marcus too,
:24:43
but I didn't have the funds,
so they had to stay in the hot place.
:24:46
As for myself,
the priests assured me
:24:49
that by gazing at sacred relics,
:24:51
I could cut down
my time in Purgatory.
:24:53
Luckily for me, Rome had
enough nails from the Holy Cross
:24:56
to shoe every horse in Saxony.
:24:59
But there are relics
elsewhere in Christendom.
