:55:03
I kept my temper and merely asked
to be shown the error of my ways.
:55:06
If you do not recant, you will be
delivered to the Inquisition.
:55:09
Will you recant?
:55:12
What?
:55:18
Then there is only one way
to save your life.
:55:23
Kneel.
:55:25
Kneel:
:55:27
Martin Luther,
:55:29
in the name of Christ,
I release you from your vows
:55:32
to the Augustinian order
:55:34
and commend you to God's mercy.
:55:37
I'm no longer your father,
do you understand?
:55:40
Were I your father,
then under canon law,
:55:42
I would be obligated to
deliver you to the authorities:
:55:47
But I'll be
your spiritual father...
:55:53
until the day I die.
:56:02
Now go.
:56:05
Go quickly:
:56:08
There is a horse at the back gate.
:56:10
Don't leave me alone,
Father. Please.
:56:13
Father:
:56:34
My pnince.
:56:35
how shall I answer?
:56:38
The Cardinal demands
that Luther be delivered to Rome
:56:41
or banished from Saxony.
:56:44
Have you read Luther's work?
:56:48
Yes, all of it.
:56:50
Yes. He's a brilliant
little monk, isn't he,
:56:52
with an independent mind.
:56:56
Yes, he is.
:56:58
Oh, Spalatin, you were
at law school with him, weren't you?
