Sadly, we may be back to his situation soon. The Catholic Church was so politicized back then...its purpose was to serve the state and guard the status quo rather than save souls and minister to the people. Thomas Cranmer wavered but was obviously embolden by Holy Spirit in the end. The “new” political “church” correctness today demands we compromise on abortion, gay “marriage” and Bible Truth… based on what I heard in Obama prayer breakfast speech, and the HATE spewed daily by media and leftists at Christians... the “stake” for the Saints may soon be operational again.
Barrack Obama claims to be a Christian doesn’t he? Isn’t he the current “King” of the United States? According to what I’ve read from Tyndale, Kings, rulers and such get to be the deciding factor on how the faith will be followed in their own country.
How can you criticize what “Bible Truth” means to some people when the reformers essentially gave them the right to interpret Scripture to their own meaning? Isn’t that what Protestantism is all about?
Are you only relegating political correctness to the Catholic Church? What about Henry VIII? What about the countless other Kings and heads of state who twisted scripture and religion to their own ends?
