“Yeah, there was a reason - the civil wars STARTED BY the COE attempting to strip civil rights from Catholics”
Complete nonsense. We wont bother mentioning the Catholic Church calling for the assassination of Elizabeth I.
There are a whole variety of reasons why Catholics were increasingly discriminated against. Trying to blame it all on the COE is factually incorrect. Intolerance on both sides was to blame - the Martyrs under Bloody Mary testify to that. Catholics were just as bigoted and intolerant as the COE.
I take it your family doesn’t come from the Jacobites.
OH, so. Catholics were just as intolerant for defending what was theirs?
Who built Canterbury Cathedral. Look at the dissolution of the monasteries where Henry VIII helped himself to everything.
What happened to the Catholic church afterwards? Are you aware that the entire heirarchy in the Catholic church was executed?
Every single one - it took nearly 250 years for it to be restored.
Catholics built it all - Henry took it all away. Catholics fought to keep it and Elizabeth finished them off.
Have you heard anything about the 40 martyrs?
