34. Ah, Henry VIII, the proto-feminist

NOT!!! :eyes:

besides, the decision to split from Rome was a bad decision, made for bad reasons which brought in centuries of massive anti-catholic bigotry in Britain. In order to sell that policy to the masses Catholicism was quite literally portrayed as the work of satan and that view still persists today in Ulster as we all know.

On a side note, James II gets a bad rap too. The glorious revolution was not glorious but a reaction against James's valiant attempts to introduce some level of tolerance into Britain on the Catholic matter. After the glorious revolution Britain was effectivly an apartheid state until Catholic emancipation in 1828, brought about only in order to prevent civil war in Ireland.

I guess I just don't like seeing Christians bashing fellow Christians.
