Judging the mores and attitudes of the 116th Century by 21st century standards won’t wash. More’s attitudes were no different from other Catholics, who were treated the same way by Protestants. Only, with Protestants, it involved not just the desire for extermination, but also theft and destruction.

Ah, so it is ok to burn people at the stake for heresy, so long as they didn’t steal the church in which they committed their heresy....

But they did that too. The Cathars had their lives and their lands taken.

All because the Pope claimed authority over the mind of man. Shameful.
