Description
St. Thomas More is best known for opposing King Henry VIII’s separation from the Catholic Church and his divorce of Catherine. For this opposition he was executed for refusing to acknowledge Henry as the supreme leader of the new Anglican church.
But more than this witness of staying true to the Catholic Church, Thomas was a lawyer, and judge, and a devoted father, deeply invested in his children’s education, both his son and daughters equally, which made an impression on the other nobles who knew him.
His best friend, Erasmus, reflected, “Did nature ever invent anything kinder, sweeter or more harmonious than the character of Thomas More?” He was “born and designed for friendship; no one is more open-hearted in making friends or more tenacious in keeping them.”
