Sir Thomas More (7 February 1478 - 6 July 1535), venerated in the Catholic Church as Saint Thomas More, was an English lawyer, social philosopher, author, statesman, and noted Renaissance humanist. He was also a councillor to Henry VIII, and Lord High Chancellor of England from October 1529 to 16 May 1532. He wrote Utopia, published in 1516, about the political system of an imaginary, ideal island nation. More opposed the Protestant Reformation, in particular the theology of Martin Luther and William Tyndale. More also opposed the king's separation from the Catholic Church, refusing to acknowledge Henry as Supreme Head of the Church of England and the annulment of his marriage to Catherine of Aragon. After refusing to take the Oath of Supremacy, he was convicted of treason and beheaded. Of his execution, he was reported to have said: "I die the King's good servant, but God's first." Pope Pius XI canonised More in 1935 as a martyr. Pope John Paul II in 2000 declared him the "heavenly Patron of Statesmen and Politicians". Since 1980, the Church of England has remembered More liturgically as a Reformation martyr. The Soviet Union honoured him for the purportedly communist attitude toward property rights expressed in Utopia.

I dunno… I’m inclined to agree with Hilary Mantel on this. The whole cause of the problem was Katherine of Aragon. She knew what the stakes were and could have had a dignified retirement. I think Henry would have treated her well like he did with Anne of Cleves. But Katherine’s pride could not be reasoned with. It ruined the lives of many: Her daughter, Anne Boleyn who waited too long to start having children, Wolsey and Thomas More. I get the principle. But this great matter was not the hill I would have died on. You didn’t have to have the cynicism of Wolsey to understand that fending off another civil war for lack of a male heir was in everyone’s best interests. Plus, Royal divorces were not uncommon. Eleanor of Acquitaine comes to mind. Not only did she divorce the king of France but she didn’t go to a convent either. Katherine could have issued whatever demand she wanted and gotten it. Did More even reason with Henry that Mary could have been a legitimate successor? I’m guessing no. Well, he did himself in then.

Katherine of Aragon is very likely a saint in heaven though she has never been formally canonized. She was a true Pious heroine, a champion for the sanctity of marriage. None of this had to do with pride. Do your research and read a book. Just as St Thomas More Expresses in this scene, she was dealing in a higher element, a spiritual element. She had to answer to God alone. They all did. We all will. Henry the 8th annulment has led to countless heretical sex called Protestant churches, where people regularly get divorced, where same-sex marriages are permitted and celebrated, where so much evil resides. That is not God's church. Katherine stood up for God and his church and the Covenant of holy matrimony. What do you stand for?

There was more at stake cause of Katherine's status, she was a child of Spain and it was very powerful country during that time period. Marriages was not just about a spiritual conscious, piety or lust, it was also about economics and avoiding wars.

More was not in charge of the kingdom. What you call being "self righteous" is what others consider being honorable, he was fully conscious of his death as a result for keeping his faith and not betraying his own conscience, that's what a true man of God does.

First, sorry my bad english. I'm not a native speaker ^^' To be fair, for most people today it is hard to understand how strongly religious people back in that time were. He believed he would not only damn his own soul, but also the souls of his family if he hadn't made those decisions. Yes, they had to endure poverty because of his decisions. But I think many people would rather live in poverty and find salvation in the afterlife than otherwise. I really think he tought his decisions were the right ones. Not only for him, but for his family too. As far as I know, they also believed that letting heretics follow their "false ways", they would also not only damn the heretics, but their own souls as well. It could also lead to your own excommunication, which was horrible for most people back than. I don't want to say that his actions where right and burning people is absolutly cruel. But maybe, with that in mind, his actions were a little bit more understandable.
