His burning was murder by the laws of the time, yet the church was so evil and so powerful it could murder in this way without trial and laugh at the questioning of this illegal act.

As I mentioned earlier in the thread, the Church couldn't execute anyone. It was the state that did this.

If you want to bring up executions, how about the Martyrs of England?

I am not the one who brought up executions that was in the article that was posted that you read

If I recall my U.S History. One of the main reason people left England to come here was to get away from all the religious persecution. In England there was very little difference between the church and the state just depended on who the King or queen was at the time. First it was the Catholic Church then the church of England then the Catholic church then the Church of England this was the reason behind the separation of Church and State in our bill of Restriction's

as far as the church of england repenting for the sins of killing catholics I think it would be a good idea to do as the catholics have done but I think that would be like me saying I am sorry for slavery or the Holocaust I wasn't there I didn't do or support and of it.

During the Dark Ages, wasn't the church, and the state one and the same (since Constantine) and continues today (Vatican)???
