Jeanne, my dear friend in Christ,
1:04:09
we, your judges, desirous of reaching
1:04:11
a lawful verdict,
1:04:13
submitted a transcript of your trial
to the University of Paris.

1:04:18
The learned scholars have concluded
1:04:21
that you have committed
many grievous sins,

1:04:26
and here is their opinion,
1:04:28
as detailed in these articles.
1:04:34
Article One:
1:04:35
"You said that God commanded you
to wear men's clothes,

1:04:40
"and to wear your hair short,
1:04:42
"with nothing to distinguish you
from soldiers..."

1:04:48
Don't abandon me.
1:04:53
Where are you?
1:05:02
Is this what You want?
1:05:06
You want me
1:05:09
to burn
1:05:11
without being confessed?
1:05:16
Finally, Article Twelve:
1:05:19
"You refuse to submit yourself
to the judgement of the Church,

1:05:23
"but only to God,
1:05:25
"which shows
that you have no comprehension

1:05:28
"of the authority of the Church,
and that you've erred

1:05:32
"in the faith of God,
that you're a child of superstition,

1:05:38
"an idolater,
1:05:39
"and a heretic!"
1:05:52
We once again
1:05:53
admonish, beg and exhort you
to cast out

1:05:56
your erroneous beliefs
1:05:59
by signing this recantation.
