Posa/Free Netherlands, Reformed Spain & Freedom of Thought = OTP. So his very real love for Carlos also always carries that element of future of the realm and Europe calculation in it.

Yes, and as we mentioned in that conversation, although he does love Carlos, if Carlos hadn't been reform-minded, well, perhaps Posa wouldn't have felt nearly as strongly about him.

I think that even if Elisabeth isn't in love with Carlos, that passage seems to me to indicate that she understands she could be if she let herself. But, huh, coming to it from the opera I'd assumed that they'd met before!

Klepper: :((((( That bit about Luther... I'm familiar with that from the hymn (my husband's Lutheran) and, ugh, we sing that without... having to ever really contemplate doing it.
