A quite novel kind of grammar and logic, according to which what is something is nothing
Martin Luther King Jr.
Great thieves go Scott-free, as the Pope and his crew.

Here again you confuse and mix everything up in your usual way.
The Pope is a mere tormentor of conscience. The assembly of his greased and religious crew in praying was altogether like the croaking of frogs, which edified nothing at all.
How is it then that your theologians drivel like people in their second childhood.
The Church of Rome.. Has become the most lawless den of thieves, the most shameless of all brothels, the very kingdom of sin, death and hell; so that not even antichrist, if he were to come, could devise any addition to its wickedness.
Now I know from this very word and deed of yours what free choice is and is capable of, namely, madness.
These words of yours, devoid of Christ, devoid of Spirit, are colder than ice itself, so that they tarnish the beauty of your eloquence. Perhaps they were dragged out of you, poor fellow, by fear of the pontiffs and tyrants, lest you should seem altogether an atheist!
I owe you a small thanks, for you have made me far more sure of my own position by letting me see the case for free choice put forward with all the energy of so distinguished and powerful a mind, but with no other effect than to make things worse than before.
You see, however, which is called the Court of Rome, and which neither you nor any man can deny to be more corrupt than any Babylon or Sodom, and quite, as I believe, of a lost, desperate and hopeless impiety.
[Rome], who was formerly the gate of heaven, is now a sort of open mouth of hell.
[Jerome] is a man quite without either judgment or application.
What more scoundrelly trick could you have played on us?
I will say something still easier. Take a single flea or louse-since you tempt and mock our God with this talk about curing a lame horse-and if, after combining all the powers and concentrating all the efforts both of your good and all your supporters, you succeed in killing it in the name of free choice, you shall be victorious, your case shall be established, and we too will come at once and worship that god of yours, that wonderful killer of the louse.
A prince is venison in heaven.
