re: #223 Charles

And your point is what? That the name “Thomas More” taints everything, that he was a maniacal heretic burner, and that Catholics cannot, on principle, be trusted with anything? That would be ridiculous.

Also, as you well know, wiki is not everything. If you read the entry on John Foxe, who was also a good, scholarly, (and biased) man, you will come to a final assessment of him by a scholar named Thomas Freeman. I know Mr. Freeman fairly well. He would strongly disagree with how you’re using Thomas More here.

If you’re really interested in More beyond political use, I can forward you a bibliography. Will it completely exonerate More? I don’t know.
