Whatever the merit of the argument, that’s real weak.

William Shakespeare had two relatives who were executed by Elizabeth and the brother of one of his beloved teachers also shared that same fate.

You have to read Shakespeare in the original Klingon.

The evidence of the Bard's Catholicism is thin, but real, and more references than inclusion of Purgatory in Hamlet. Still, the evidence for his political correctness in Jacobian England is stronger, including a real possibility of having had a part in the excellent King James translation.

If there were two of him, one a quiet Royal the other his flamboyant actor front, and more evidence of that theory were to come to light, then this avenue of investigation might be worthwhile. Until then, I'm thankful for the works and for the unnamed who squirrelled these folios away, one day in Calais.

Jesuit schools holding the Bard in such high regard is proof positive that he was a (recusant) Catholic.

And Abraham Lincoln was a gay man. Or whatever.

Who cares?

“Get Thee to a nunn`ry”

There were no Church of England nunneries- Henry VIII seized them all and sold off their properties. In 1500`s, thousands of Catholic English women fled and went to live in Catholic nunneries in Belgium, France etc.

“Get Thee to a Catholic nunn`ry”

There fixed it.

When has anyone ever heard that a Protestant advocates a woman to go into a Catholic nunnery?

Such a prolific author must have left behind an enormous collection of letters, rough drafts, annotated reference books, etc.

I wonder where the collection is kept at?
