:54:01
We are on the brink of war.
:54:03
To the west, lies a world of souls
who have never heard the name of Christ.
:54:07
That is the truth:
:54:08
Christianity is tearing apart,
:54:11
and just when we need
unity most,
:54:14
you create confusion:
:54:15
My goal is not to quarrel
with the Pope or the church,
:54:18
but to defend them
with more than mere opinion.
:54:21
The Gospel cannot be denied
for the word of man.
:54:27
I refuse to argue
with that monk.
:54:31
You said he was a simpleton.
:54:33
He questioned
the Pope's authority.
:54:38
Anommitanos.
:54:40
Unigenitus.
:54:41
Or shall we call it Extnavagante
like the rest of the world?
:54:46
He's a heretic.
:54:50
Our orders were clear.
:54:53
Either he recant...
:54:55
Do not presume
to lecture me, Aleander.
:54:58
I know perfectly well
what our orders were.
: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.
