Sometimes I wonder how different history would have been if King Henry had not changed, if he had remained that charming renaissance king as he was in the beginning. I wonder how much he would have stood by the Church, after all he was named Defender of the Faith by the Pope at the time. I also wonder if Mary would have become a renaissance Queen and married young to a Spanish prince, and if the Church would have come to see its errors before Protestantism took over. There is no doubt history would’ve been changed, but how much we will never know. Even though I’m a Catholic, I am thankful for the personal freedoms that Protestantism brought to the world. Absolute power corrupts absolutely!
I just found your program and I am going back through the shows. This is a very informative educational interesting program. You do an amazing job !
You're too kind! Those early episodes are hard for me to listen to now as they were six years ago and I was very green. lol
Thank you! Third time listening

What types of freedom did it bring?.
