"Did Thomas Cranmer, patron saint of unhappy husbands, mind the killing of tens of thousands of Catholics so that Henry VIII could get rid of his wife and marry his mistress?"

Many RC's are fond of stating their belief that the Reformation (in Great Britain, at least, if not Europe) only came about so that Henry VIII could get a divorce.

Gets old after awhile. I'd say Cranmer showed at the end that his faith did mean something to him when he plunged the hand that had signed his recantation into the flames.

There were (of course) atrocities committed by Catholics throughout the ages.

Today, we have Kennedy, Kerry, Durbin, et al.
