:31:01
yet possess
a fervent desire to serve.
:31:03
I have need of such gifts.
:31:06
Excellency.
:31:08
Albert of Brandenburg wants
to be Archbishop of Mainz.
:31:11
He's already archbishop
of two German territories.
:31:15
Correct.
:31:17
Then canon law disqualifies him
from holding a third.
:31:19
Moreover, wasn't he underage
when granted his first post?
:31:25
Just so.
:31:27
Even as I myself was.
:31:29
Doubtless Cajetan has informed you
:31:32
that I was made cardinal
at the age of 13.
:31:35
Albert's ambition
could still serve God's glory.
:31:39
The Turks at the gates of Mienna.
:31:41
The French are
yapping at my heels,
:31:43
and Rome itself has
become an open sewer
:31:45
filled with wild dogs
and cats by day
:31:48
and brigands
and fornicators by night.
:31:53
And this new
Basilica of Saint Peter's,
:31:56
it's not just a building,
Aleander,
:31:59
it's a symbol of my intent
to restore Christ's church.
:32:06
And Albert could be
a minor blessing in that.
:32:10
He offers 10,000 ducats
for Mainz.
:32:13
But Albert is bankrupt.
:32:16
You're well-informed.
:32:19
The Fuggers will
lend him the money.
:32:21
The imperial bankers?
:32:25
An eight-year loan.
:32:26
And how
would he repay them?
:32:33
John Tetzel.
:32:37
There, that's him:
Father John Tetzel:
:32:42
Don't unfurl the banners
until the fire ignites.
:32:46
Everything has been prepared
exactly as you instructed.
:32:59
Welcome, Father Tetzel:
