To: ArrogantBustard

(Ghost)
I am thy father’s spirit,
Doom’d for a certain term to walk the night,
And for the day confined to fast in fires,
Till the foul crimes done in my days of nature
Are burnt and purged away.

-Hamlet

Shakespeare was Catholic.

Shakespeare was an Anglican. He lived in Protestant England governed by Elizabeth.

His daughter, Susannah, married the Puritan, John Hall, a close friend of Shakespeare's.

Most all biographers agree Shakespeare was an Anglican with reformed leanings.

His writings certainly attest to that persuasion.
