Reclaiming the Moral High Ground

Henry was still a Catholic - he just made himself head of the Church. Henry was ironically actually awarded the title "Defendor Fidelis" by the RC church for defending both the sanctity of marriage and the authority of the Pope!

I would argue Martin Luther had a much bigger impact

 

Probably, but Martin Luther was in a time when they things like television and radio, does make getting the message out to the people a little easier.

Plus, he was doing something that benefited millions of people rather than a select few. People tend to be more invested in supporting, doing and changing stuff when there's something in it for them.

 

I think you're thinking of Martin Luther King Jr..

 

What????

Martin LUTHER - you are thinking of Martin Luther KING

 

Yup, I was.

It's been a long day...

 

Beaten by a raptor!

 

Lol, I will laugh about that later a lot, but right now I am so embarrassed :cry:

Just so we're clear, we're talking about the german catholic monk chappy who was really confrontational?

 

First Johnny Cash, now Martin Luther King Jr.. What's next? Ten hip hip hoorays for Margaret Thatcher?

 

As opposed to the Afro-American Doctor who wasn't, yes

 

Well, now that you mention it, she did break the monopoly the unions had...

I kid! I kid! I'm not going near that one in my current state. Or ever.

 

Hip, hip....








....wow, tough crowd

 

*sigh* I was doing so well at making myself sound semi-intelligent, too...

 

hah, lector, your tumbleweed is awesome!
