Horrible. Protestantism is a plague that must be ruthlessly stomped out.

What about my types?

I think it's worth noting most of that really terrible anti-Semitic stuff everyone thinks of in regards to him, which was quite awful even by the standards of his time was written after his major reforms, pretty close to his death, and after he had likely contracted syphilis and sustained brain damage. He was probably literally insane at the time he was writing that stuff. He was probably never the most mentally stable individual to begin with but that stuff was not reflective of him during his important times.

Now I remember the time I jokingly suggested he become a saint. Can anyone else imagine the uproar against Francis if he decided to do that?

Tangentially, Thomas More is an Anglican/Episcopal Saint, which is hilarious to me.

Do you think you'll actually find any Episcopalians/Anglicans today who would defend Henry VIII?
