Martin Luther: Quote for August 31, 2008

(When asked to recant his teachings.) 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.
from: Luther (2003)
Joseph Fiennes acted as Martin Luther
