Blessed Good Friday to all.
| "When I was a child, I thought like a child, I was a child, I played like a child. And now, thanks to the adults, I've had to join the world of adults. And I am appalled... by how easy they thought it was to bribe me." Prince Friederich the Wise, from the Eric Till film Luther |
| "Since Your Majesty and Your Lordships desire a simple reply, I will answer.
Unless I am convinced by Scripture and by plain reason, and not by Popes and councils who have so often contradicted themselves, my conscience is captive to the word of God. To go against conscience is neither right nor safe. I cannot, and I will not recant. Here I stand. I can do no other. God help me." |
