Moore will remain persecuting heretics as Lord Chancellor in the short term.
Is he really as bad as Hilary Mantell would have us believe? I mean, I get it's fiction and all, but when we had to watch "Man for All Seasons" in high school, I found More rather unlikeable. I'll admit what was done to him was unfair and bad, but I feel that much like Katherine of Aragon he was the cause of not a bit of his own suffering. Yes, what Henry was doing was wrong, but More was essentially defying his monarch.
And I don't really trust Gareth Russell as a source because this is the same guy who said Catholics hated CoA's obstinate refusal to recognize the annulment based solely on the sermon made by Gardiner, known lick-spittle who says what Henry wants to hear in order to advance himself, after Catherine's death.
I did NOT know that about Russel. Usually I find The Anne Boleyn Files a more balanced account. I do admit that Russel does seem to put Anne on a pedestal to Katherine's detriment.
