Luther: In Real Time

A man places a document in the hands of a monk by the name of Martin Luther.

The most powerful person in the world has declared

Luther to be a heretic and Luther has 60 days to recant. I will not be reconciled or communicate with them. They dare and burn my books.

If he persists in his madness, take him captive.

Exactly 500 years after the events occurred,

They excommunicate me for the sacrilege of heresy, so I excommunicate them in the name of the sacred truth of God.

He cannot be either safe or honest for a Christian to speak against his conscience.

Here I stand. I often wish that God had called another.
