Le scomunicate di San Valentino Page #5

...God entrusts the heavy burden

of restoring sanctity and devotion...

...to the convent reconsecrated by us.

Concerning the sisters among you

whose only fault was...

...not to resist evil, submitting to

the sufferance of the sins of others...

...l, Grand Inquisitor of Spain...

...with the special power conferred

on me by our sovereign Ferdinand II...

...and by the Supreme Roman Pontiff...

...command that you be freed, to return

to the Church of the Holy Mother.

We, too, are innocent.

It was the abbess.

Your faults will be judged by God

and by his court.

No, we are innocent.

You, Father Onorio de Mendoza...

...former Inquisitor of Seville...

...wished to present to us

your defence in writing. Read it out.

The accusation which has been made

against me today...

...of having been excessively zealous

and of having abused my power...

...I refute.

My words reflect my conscience,

here, in front of your holy cross.

What do you know of

Father Onorio de Mendoza?

I call as a witness bishop Doloso.

You refer to a dead man.

- More alive than many of the living.

He doesn't hide from me. He appears

before me always and approves of me.

At the assault on Granada,

a servant of Allah...

...killed dozens of Christians

with his sword.

In the end, he was wounded

and left for dead.

Look. Look.

I loved bishop Doloso,

because he saved me that day...

...and flung open the doors of truth.

From that day on, I have lived solely

to exalt the true faith of Christ.

May the blood of the pure like him

fall upon the wicked who killed him.

No one is innocent. We are all guilty.

We all have to pay

for the ignominy and sin.

They have invaded the earth.

They have invaded the earth.

Fanaticism is often nothing more

than the other face of madness.

There is no justice

without mercy and without forgiveness.

In the name of God, we decree:

That Esteban de Albornos be declared

innocent of bishop Doloso's murder.

The denunciation against him is false,

as confessed by the denunciator.

I shall expiate my guilt far from here,

in a monastery...

...as decided by the Queen

in her mercy.

But I need your forgiveness, Esteban.

Now that I have Lucita,

you can ask of me anything you wish.

Go, forget me and be happy.

How can I forget you?

Together we shall succeed.
