Rather unlikely but also unnecessary as people don’t face the same oppression as they would in Beckett’s days (both from political and religious leaders).
There's so much more that happened regarding Becket after his death. The cult that rose, the numerous miracles attributed to him that came after his death. His miraculous blood was diluted and carried in little lead vials by pilgrims. Such an interesting afterlife this guy had as well. :)
1118----1170...he was archbishop of Canterbury and was murdered by 4 knights who took it upon themselves to commit this crime in a sacred place...4 very ignorant or evil minded people who did an awful act..and must go before God and hopefully totally have repented this act..maybe still to be done in a timeless realm we all live in...this world is all a fleeting show for man's illusion given.....this is to a time and place long gone or maybe only yesterday....amen .🌟🌟🌟😃
@@nickf8268 well I heard from doctor Taylor Marshall that he did sign the document and intended to do as a king wish and then changed his mind here they say he never signed a document and he refused
Ok, why is he called "Thomas a Becket"??? were there a lot of Beckets around and he was just one of them?? Or is becket a position, and he was one them beckets who occupied it??
The "a Becket or Becket" is a relatively modern thing. Surnames weren't common in the 12th century and Thomas himself never used it. He was known as Thomas of London or Thomas of Canterbury.
@@johnwalsh819 thanks. so what you are telling me is that Becket was his last name? BUT he is called "a" Becket, not "the" Becket. what gives? adding a definite article "the" to the beginning of the last name is practiced even today by the languages that still have definite articles like Arabic. everybody carries their last name with the definite article "al-" (which means "the" and "of" in English). so dudes are al- this and al- that!!
@@TWOCOWS1 No. This surname "Becket" was given to his father for identification from other Gilberts in the place he was born, as around this time it was a very popular christian name. Surnames at this time were optional, not used regularly and very few people used them. The "a" or "de" before the surname really only indicates, as you say, "the" or "of" or "from". The name Becket itself can mean "the man from the beck or little brook" or "little beak" or "beak face". As I have already said, Thomas preferred to be called Thomas of London, or once he became Chancellor Thomas the Chancellor and after becoming Archbishop, Thomas the Archbishop. But "Becket"was used as a surname for him but usually only by people who really disliked him such as Roger l'Pont Eveque and Gilbert Foliot, Archbishop of York and Bishop of London respectively. It was used as a put down, a reminder that he wasn't born into the nobility. And remember the words the four knights used when entering the Cathedral "Where is Thomas Becket, traitor to the king and the kingdom?". After canonisation he was known as St Thomas of Canterbury. And all the churches dedicated to him from then were so named. It's only probably in the past 100 years or so that he has become commonly known as Thomas Becket.
@@johnwalsh819 Thank you John. Love how polite you are and speak constructively. Not common on RUclips where people use profanities and/or idocies. Actually, Beck or buck is the old Saxon/Germanic, meaning trees and woods. So Becket would be more of a woodsman, dude from the forests (not terrible complementary). BUT still, why is he "a" Becket rather than just Becket or The Becket? Is this a modern mixup?
I read that *SAINT* Thomas' final words - addressed to one of the murderous knights - was to call him *"a fucking pimp!"* (probably spelled pymp in those days). Great last words...
A great effort at a concise factual five minute biography on a pivotal life lived. Wonderful.
There was about 20 Catholic bishops in
England when King Henry took over the church.
Only one stood up against him
St. John Fisher
Most have marched to the drum. Nothing has changed.
Also see the movie with Richard Burton playing leading role
Peter O’Toole.
I just watched the movie, very well made, I really enjoyed it.
Thank you!
Same here.
We need more Beckets in the line of Bishops.Thank you,for sharing.May God Bless you.
Excellent video on this most influential martyr🙏
We need Beckett bishops today.
Rather unlikely but also unnecessary as people don’t face the same oppression as they would in Beckett’s days (both from political and religious leaders).
The modern world provides examples of countries dominated and ruled by clerics. Saudi Arabia, for example. No thanks.
No, we don't need bishops that want to protect rapists from prosecution.
Very helpful.

ok
2:00 this reminds me of something.
There is no logic but reasoning, and truth is the validation of reasoning.
In the Canterbury Tales, Becket was the hooly blisful martir for to seeke.
It was very useful. Thank you 🙇

Interesting. It's not quite how it was taught to me and very different from the movie `Becket'...
That was definitely longer than five minutes

Sounds like he wasn't a Saxon in any sense of the word, unlike in the movie.
HE was Norman. The film was playing off of the race problem.
He really should be our national saint not St George who never set foot in England. Beckett was English born and bred.
who else is watching this because they forgot to revise
Ok only people who go to My school will know me aha
