I just finished watching “The Tudors” series.
I had no idea at how bloody both sides of the Catholic vs Protestant battle was in England.
No wonder the tension still exists in the UK.

King Henry VIII tried to destroy the Catholic Church in England by stealing Church riches and putting them in his pocket.
His Daughter, Mary sent 250 innocent Protestants to be burned alive to try and reestablish the Catholic Church in England.

Only a fool refuses to look at the past with an open mind.

no doubt, it was bloody woth ways

one was an institgator at first, the other a revenger, but that made more revengers

My family escaped Ireland because they were persecuted by Catholics AND Protestants alike

Being a Baptist in Ireland in the 1800’s was not easy :)
