I’ll stick to judging Thomas More as we all will be judged – by the state of our souls at the end of affair. We all of us have mixed records, but we don’t all die as saints. Now, as to Tyndale: while More did attack him over the vernacular Bible, he was more incensed, I believe, about Tyndale’s book – “Obedience of a Christian Man: How Christian Rulers Ought to Govern” – which charged that the Bible was silent on the existence of a Pope or a clerical hierarchy, and therefore a king (namely Henry VIII) did not need papal permission to issue rulings, all of which would play a critical role in England’s eventual break with Roman Catholicism. By the way, Tyndale wrote another book, “The Practice of Prelates,” which declared the Bible did not permit Henry to divorce. That angered the rotund royal, who condemned Tyndale to death – he fled to Europe, but was captured in Antwerp by Henry’s henchmen, returned to England, and burned at the stake in October, 1536. And before one goes blaming Thomas More for that, please note that the good saint had last been seen 14 months earlier, hanging from a scaffold (on July 6, 1535 to be exact).
