Luther Page #7

They've already published

my explanations of the 95 Theses.

I dedicated it to Pope Leo.

Clearly, clearly

you've heard the rumors...

that the Pope has

summoned me to Augsburg.

Well, it's true.

It's true, and I pray fervently

he will find no fault with me.

But think on this

while I am gone.

We obsess...

over relics.

Indulgences.

Pilgrimages to holy places.

Yet all the time,

all the time, there is Christ.

Christ. Christ, here...

in every corner,

in every hour of the day.

He isn't found

in the bones of saints...

but here,

in your love for each other,

in your love for one another...

in His sacraments,

and in God's holy word.

If we, if we live the word,

by faith...

in love

and service to one another,

we need fear

no man's judgment.

Good to see you.

Thank you.

Martin, the faculty

stands behind you.

I have written a letter of protest,

and I'll be the first to sign

should they arrest you in Augsburg.

Thank you, Carlstadt.

Thank you.

Bless you. Bless you.

Father.

Are you in trouble?

What happens now?

I honestly don't know.

Well...

Father, thank you.

Thank you, Father.

Just try to keep

your big mouth shut.

Father.

She wants you to know

that she prays for you every night.

Father.

Have I.?

Have I caused you trouble too?

I'm here

to get you through this.

They've stopped

Tetzel from preaching.

He's in Leipzig

under house arrest.

That's a good sign, isn't it?

That means that Rome must understand.

It just means he went too far.

Martin.

Martin, listen to me.

Cardinal Cajetan

didn't bring you here

to teach him the Scriptures.

I beg you in God's name

to have a care.

Be temperate.

Don't talk, just listen.

Your life

could depend on it.

He's waiting for you.

I am Girolamo Aleander,

representing Cardinal Cajetan.

Your meeting won't take long.

I'm here to prepare you for tonight.

Please.

Sit.

It was never my intention

to say anything against

the honor and the dignity

of our Holy Father.

Of course not, Brother Martin.

And that being the case,

that we all desire peace,

you only have to follow a few

simple rules of protocol.

When you meet the Cardinal,

you will throw yourself on the floor,

face to the ground.

The Cardinal will tell you to stand,

at which time you will kneel

and remain kneeling

throughout your hearing.

Do you understand?

Yes.

If the church takes exception

to a single point,

I will submit to her immediately.

But I'm sure when the Cardinal

and Pope Leo

understand my position...

they'll find no fault with me.

We have a misunderstanding.

There will be no discussion.

No debate.

You have one word to say

and one word only.

Revoco...

I recant...
