Today the Church remembers St Thomas More (to say nothing of St John Fisher, an earlier example of how the Church of England dealt with rebellious and recalcitrant bishops of Rochester!)
Yes, I know that Robert Bolt’s play idealises More in ways that fit with contemporary rather than historical sensibilities, but here is a great scene from the film with the incomparable Paul Scofield.
Happy St Thomas More day to you!
