[***And God answered the prayer of Tyndale when he prayed as he was about to burned at the stake for the ‘crime’ of giving the Bible to the average person, ‘open the eyes of the King’ and the Matthews Bible was allowed to be circulated freely, which was essentially Tyndales translation of the NT and parts of the Old. ***]

You’re funny. Agents of Henry VIII - no friend of Catholicism - had him captured and killed in Holland.

Did I mention Catholicism anywhere in the above passage?

But it was the Roman Catholic Church that did instigate the persecution against Tyndale.

***And why would anyone care what More said about anything? Tyndale is ranked with Shakespeare as the greatest individual influence on the English language. *** ]

By whom?

By anyone who knows anything about the subject.

I suppose that Sts. Ambrose and Augustine don’t matter either.

Not in regards to getting the Bible translated into the English language they don't!

Why would Henry, an enemy of the Church, carry out its bidding on Tyndale?
