“This was wrong.”
Anyone who defends persecution or execution by one religious group against another is wrong. Whether it’s Henry, or Bloody Mary or England or Spain or anywhere else.
It was a brutal time that is thankfully past.
You appear to long for the “us vs. them” mentality of the 16th century.
England was politically and religiously Catholic. When politics of Rome turned against England, Rome lost the religious ground too.
Moral high ground is difficult to occupy regarding that time, my friend, no matter who you happen to be. To lament “theft of property” over the human toll is puzzling to say the least.
I really don’t see how fighting to defend yourself is attacked.
Elizabeth executed more than Mary ever did, but we don’t call her ‘Bloody Elizabeth.’
