“As
a monk, I myself, although I am an ordinary, simple sort of man,
found this harshness and blasphemy of denying love the hardest thing
to bear. Nor could I ever persuade myself to believe with any peace
of mind that this monastic obedience, which was against love and so
offensively harsh, was what is right and proper.” Martin Luther,
Judgment of Martin Luther on Monastic Vows, LW, AE, 44:329-330
