English term or phrase: cleanse of his bowels
O contexto é o seguinte:

Stacy Keach is a classically trained stage actor and is simply superb here as Martin Luther. It’s a meaty role in a substantial play with some terrific dialogue, so there must be a great temptation for the actor to grandstand and play the role with a firebrand-ish zeal, but here Keach downplays, showing a character torn apart by inner doubts about his own faith, yet finding a voice for those doubts and a determination to express them. His delivery of the line “I listened for God’s voice, but all I could hear was my own” is an impeccable example of this – spoken not with the expected tortured exasperation, but with true humility and regret. It’s a great performance in a strong play that captures the earthy nature of Lutheran thought and the scatological expression of his views, finding enlightenment and release for his views in the cleansing of his bowels.

Muito obrigado a todos desde já!

Portuguese translation:através da limpeza das suas entranhas
Explanation:
Apesar de ser uma referência escatológica, talvez colocar algo um pouco mais poético, uma vez que não se trata de discurso direto da personagem em si, mas uma referência ao mesmo.

enquanto defecava/ao defecar


Explanation:
A expressão aqui é no sentido literal de defecar. Martin Luther era conhecido por suas expressões e escritos utilizando analogias referenciando o ato de defecar, as partes do corpo que envolvem o ato de defecar, etc.

Uma das frases famosas de Martin Luther como exemplo: “I am cleansing my bowels and worshipping God Almighty; You deserve what descends and God what ascends.”

O autor da crítica até fez um trocadilho aqui com as palavras “release” e “cleansing of his bowels.”

Esta é minha sugestão para encaixar na sua frase acima.
