4th August 1517 interview with Father John
run quite pleasing. He has my thesis interesting. I should write down everything clean but once, so you can get an accurate picture.
6th August 1517
Did Father Johann submitting my thesis writing. Great praise for his part, however, he found the word "weed" too spicy. The best was, I could These 11 all gone, then it would be exactly 10 theses. A round number just as much as God's commandments. That would have symbolic value. I said, I will think about it.
7th August 1517
The more I think about it, the more important will appear with each record. These just 11 is essential in the definition. The guilty must be named, otherwise it does nothing. Because Jesus has taken one sheet over her mouth? Will speak with Father John again.
8th August 1517 had
unpleasant conversation with Father John. He insists on ten points, which I applied correctly. Everything comes to the content! But he will not understand. I should be reasonable. What concerns me is indeed the reason. On the contrary, it would be unreasonable and omitting only a thesis. But he: "Luther, your theories have the makings of world history. But with 11 theses, this will not? That does not sound "I've yelled at him:".! Small-minded Catholic "And he yelled back:" self "and I". Not at all "And he:".. But "
Na we see.
9th August 1517
'm still so furious that I wrote from pure anger 6 other theories. Nice thing about hell and purgatory, which has washed himself. Do we want but we'll see whether he has the forehead, to me rauszustreichen 7 theses.
10th August 1517
Have a night sleep over it and this morning I read again in peace my 17 theses. Think they are still successful and indispensable. Father John will not be impressed when I show him. On the contrary, he will interpret it to me as a defiance. He knows me too well. But content will not be told about my thesis. This will also have to realize it. Perhaps I should add two more conciliatory propositions about the love for him to vote in the least.
11th August 1517
That's not serious, he said. Would you kidding me, Luther? 10 theses to write and now they should send them to my 19th
Well. It was expected that he reacts. I then persuaded him to he should first read what he finally did reluctantly. Then he just shook his head. Man, Luther, when the reading of the Pope! So I said: I am not afraid of the Pope, and I ran out angry.
12th August 1517
Have also added a couple of theses to the Pope and the sale of indulgences in clearly branded. The theses I only go so out of the pen. I do not care what Father John has to say.
18th August 1517
I think the work has paid off. It is now a well-rounded. Thesis 36 brings it to finish the point: "Every Christian who has true remorse and sorrow over his sins, the has complete remission of penalty and guilt, even without letters of indulgence. "point. This will also convince Father John, I think.
20th August 1517
I just reconciled with Father John. He finds my work now outstanding. I was a good writer, he says. And a good theologian. He would still expect a lot from me. Then I apologized to him for all the trouble. He only said: "Shall I give you a letter of indulgence" As we laughed. I think now everything is good. On 4 September, I will present my thesis colleagues.
21st August 1517
went to bed yesterday euphoric. Could hardly sleep with excitement. Have lying awake all night, taking me yet occurred 15 theses. Now, the conclusion is not as nice. Since I have ran again tomorrow.
25th August 1517
Whew, am now at 68 theses. There is no end in sight. But the matter shall be robust and sound solid, if I have to present them in ten days to colleagues.
30th August 1517
Meet me tomorrow with Father John. Do not know yet how to explain to him that there are now more than 36 theses yet. I must proceed cautiously. Maybe I'll bring him some bread, and a few Spreewald cucumbers, which he like that.
31st August 1517
Poor Father John! That was a nice shock for him when I suddenly showed up at his 81 theses. Are they mad, Luther is said, who then read it?, He said. It was so good to Thesis 36, which I wrote after that would be, first to the second long and could cost me my head. But he was probably already realized that I could not deter me. He then gave me even the good advice, some prefer to formulate theories as a question.
third September 1517
Have added another 8 questions. Let's see how my 89-theses-paper will arrive tomorrow.
4th September 1517
It is over. Most were taken with my 95 theses paper right. The main criticism: Why not 100 theses? So that I could make history. Well: 5 theses I'll probably think of.
4th October 1517
Somehow I can think of nothing more. I am completely burned out. What should I do? My head is completely empty. I wish there was some hot, black brew that stimulates the mind. Or as small rods, which can be used to tuning in incense. In this fucking middle age there are not even a white powder that can be drawn through the nose.
28th October 1517
Father John has among his colleagues asked whether that would even think of a few theses, But the thing is they seem too hot.
31st October 1517: Have now a message to the church door beaten...
