I assume that you are RC. I have seen enough instances of "bible believing Christians" attacking the Church of Rome that a certain sensitivity towards such things is not entirely unreasonable. So in a spirit of charity I will amend my original statement to say that no serious historian has ever made the statement that Henry was OK in relation to Mary becuase he killed papists and she killed protestants. We both know (I hope) that both Henry's and Mary's actions had more to do with politics than with religion.

Hay, c'mon, if it were not for historical "proof" of the apostasy of others, we would be forced to focus on dogma. And that kind of thinkin' makes peoples heads hurt ;)

I agree with that. But the movie "Elizabeth" still irked me to no end. :)
