Ironic choice, Sir Thomas Moore, for trying to make a point that law supersedes God and those duties he assigns us, such as protecting our families.

You are aware of the issues surrounding his execution. It was for Treason, for refusing to swear that Henry was the head of the Church.

“no temporal man may be head of the spirituality”.

In essence he was executed, beheaded, for putting his faith over his country.

Upon his execution, one of his last statements is most relevant to the topic at hand when he declared that he died “the king’s good servant, and God’s first.”

Obviously Moore, despite his love of the law, would have trouble putting any of it above God and his desires for us

Here is an account of the trial and execution.

For what it is worth, th 1966 Movie was excellent, Paul Scofield did an outstanding job. I thank you for reminding me of that and of Moore's example of my point.

Amusing to watch your spin.
