Well, a little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing, and I’ll back off, in part because it seems I have obviously parachuted into HQ for the Reformation, and if I’m going to take on heretics I first need to WD-40 the Iron Maiden and bundle my faggots (I’d light them with pages ripped from Foxe’s Book of Martyrs, which I think is bedtime reading for some NRO folks), but largely because I’m no Tyndale or More expert, or semi-expert, but … even at the William Tyndale website they don’t float the idea that Thomas More paid off the Brit who eventually tracked down and turned in Tyndale (Henry Phillips, the Brit snitch, may have been financed by Bishop Stokesly of London). Tyndale died, as did many, because he po’ed the King over his stand on divorce (the one thing he and Thomas More actually agreed upon!). As for comparing Thomas More to Beria, the “Taliban” moniker, well, let’s file that under “Get a Rise Out of Them,” which is a particular virtue of Andrew, and often a source of great humor, although not to me in this case. Anyway, I’ll end my role in this by saying that Roman Catholics admire, pray to, name their sons after, etc. Thomas More, not denying what he did as a man, things unspeakable today, in the name of our beloved Church and faith, but because of how he died (the first saint, after all, was the thief crucified with Jesus). Surely, even my Protestant friends, even those who revel in mocking popery and the like, will believe that there is something admirable about those who die being faithful to their conscience.
