More blessed Henry's adultery????
« on: March 01, 2010, 03:28:50 AM »
  I saw it on wikipedia. It is very shocking if true. It said that St. Thomas More accepted Anne as queen and even asked for God's grace for henry and her!!!
  Is that true?

I don't know whether this is true for sure, but I remember reading that St. Thomas More went back and forth a little in the beginning.  What's important is that he ended up on the right side.

  You mean he doubted the sinfulness of the king's bigamy?

The Church tells us to obey our rightful leaders, apparently even if they are Jєωιѕн like Ahmadinejad, or unless they ask us to do anything immoral.  

Henry didn't ask Thomas More to marry Anne Boleyn.  What was he supposed to do about Henry's decision, throw a temper tantrum?  When Thomas More WAS asked to do something immoral, to deny his religion, he refused.

Didnt St.Thomas Moore stay silent on the matter, so as not to lose his head?
