Jester's privilege is the ability and right of a jester to talk and mock freely without being punished.
Martin Luther used jest in many of his criticisms against the Catholic Church.[1] In the introduction to his To the Christian Nobility of the German Nation, he calls himself a court jester, and, later in the text, he explicitly invokes the jester's privilege when saying that monks should break their chastity vows.[1]
