Yes, you can’t ‘buy’ yourself forgiveness. “How brazenly stuck up” of them. Sorry that bubble doesn’t fit.

@Jimmy - I think it’s meant in both senses, actually, with one of the listed subgroups applied to either meaning.

Am I the only one reading “stuck up” as stuck to the church doors?

@Chaz

That’s what I thought too. I think the dual meaning of “stuck up” is part of the message.

I like this card. =)

Agreed. Stuck up refers to the actual posting on the church doors in the case of Luther, and alternatively the attitudes of the children. Nice double meaning.

Minor quibble: though the popular depiction of the 95 Theses today is that Luther tacked them up on a church door as a profane act of defiance, in fact his act was, at the time, no more controversial than submitting a paper to a scholarly journal today. At the time, if you had a scholarly subject you wished to debate publicly, you posted a sort of abstract in a public forum, and the most popular public forum was the church door. Odds are, he had to remove a few other debate postings to make enough room to add his.

While the topics were indeed controversial, that’s sort of the point of a debate. You don’t post stuff everybody already agrees about. The real brazen stuff came later, though.

Still, very funny.
