Yeah, there was a reason - the civil wars STARTED BY the COE attempting to strip civil rights from Catholics.
I’m sorry, this won’t fly. Catholics are required by the Church to educate their children as Catholics. Why should we accept thin gruel from the Anglicans who don’t have our best interests at hand?
“Yeah, there was a reason - the civil wars STARTED BY the COE attempting to strip civil rights from Catholics”
Complete nonsense. We wont bother mentioning the Catholic Church calling for the assassination of Elizabeth I.
There are a whole variety of reasons why Catholics were increasingly discriminated against. Trying to blame it all on the COE is factually incorrect. Intolerance on both sides was to blame - the Martyrs under Bloody Mary testify to that. Catholics were just as bigoted and intolerant as the COE.
“Yeah, there was a reason - the civil wars STARTED BY the COE attempting to strip civil rights from Catholics.”
This is at best a gross abbreviation of history.
The Catholic Church was OPENLY HOSTILE, and wanted a Spanish invasion of England (and inevitable massacre if successful). What were the English supposed to do? sit around and wait to be killed by the Pope’s Spanish Minions/
Those that bore allegiance to the Catholic Church were taken rightly or wrongly as the enemy.
So who really started the wars? Those that expelled and converted their enemy, or those that wanted to invade and kill the English?
Point is, there is plenty of tribal indignation to go around, your attempt to resurrect ancient political hatreds is childish.
