:41:06
That will please God.
:41:09
Proceed.
:41:12
I confess...
:41:13
...as a girl I loved a man who would not
marry me for want of a dowry.
:41:19
I confess I had a mother
who taught me a different way of life.
:41:23
One I resisted at first
but learned to embrace.
:41:26
I confess I became a courtesan.
:41:29
Traded yearning for power, welcomed many
rather than be owned by one.
:41:33
She does not speak to the charge.
:41:35
I confess I embraced a whore's freedom
over a wife's obedience.
:41:39
This is not repentance.
:41:42
What am I to do?
:41:43
I must confess my evil.
These are my sins.
:41:47
Your Grace, her mortal sins
are not at issue.
:41:50
She must repent witchcraft.
:41:52
Perhaps she heads in that direction.
:41:55
You have been warned.
:41:56
The Church cannot deny her right to seek
God's mercy. Confession is sacrosanct.
:42:02
Don't instruct me on the Church's laws!
:42:04
Then I call upon the doge to demand
that the Inquisition abide by them.
:42:10
If Christian mercy is gone, then
at least Venetian justice still exists.
:42:14
I pray Your Grace has heard
enough of this.
:42:20
It does seem odd that the Holy Mother
Church would deny a sinner confession.
:42:25
I see no harm in hearing her.
:42:29
She will save or damn herself.
:42:31
The prisoner has already damned herself.
:42:34
But if it pleases the
esteemed doge of Venice...
:42:38
...she may continue her heresy.
:42:46
I confess I find more ecstasy
in passion than in prayer.
:42:57
I confess...
:42:59
I confess I pray still...
