A Story of Spiritual Warfare: a Franciscan Priest in an Earlier Century Rebukes King Henry VIII as He is about to Divest England of the Catholic Faith

[GKC]

Thank you GKC. I love reading your posts and am amazed by your in-depth knowledge on these issues. I always learn something new when I read what you write - thank you so much.

You are most welcome. And, also, most kind. Makes the typing (and, truth be told, the cutting and pasting from all the previous posts I got archived) less wearying.

The subjects I post on most frequently are those I’ve been following as hobby areas, for many years. Henry and his times is one; there are others, and the house and attic and garage and storage areas bulge with the books I’ve collected in 55 years. Which is where most of my comments come from.

Thank you again.

Leegal…what you described is what I read…but I got the two Thomas’s and the two Henry’s mixed up…and yes, read how Henry was so upset never ordering Thomas’ death. But not Henry the VIII…

It is amazing how inaccurate some of the comments are-Henry clearly wanted an anullment -the Pope would not give one (as was his right) - he thus took the English Catholic Church out from under the authority of Rome-he did not per se reject any specific doctrines -so this would be a schism such as the Old catholics and Polish National catholic Church-his daughter Mary brought te english Church back under Rome and then the next Virgin Queen (elizabeth) created the via media

Some doctrines were ultimately rejected such as Purgatory

Stop beating up on the Anglicans they are as legitimate as the Orthodox (who the RC considers schismatics) as well

No, they only hung them at Tyburn Tree. Nothing serious about that. :whacky:
