What Karlstadt said

4. October 2018

Burn me at the stake

“So now they’re out to excommunicate me and burn me at the stake. And why? Because I speak out against the freedom of the church. Well, well, my good fellows, if you want to excommunicate me for speaking out against this all-powerful Roman freedom I’ve just got to laugh out loud. And when I proceed to proclaim to lay people the freedom of Christ your excommunication and your damnation will refresh me like the dew in the morning.”
(About Papal Holiness, 1520, D3v)
