Hi Jasmine,

Great video, you did very well.

I didn´t know very much about Thomas Moore,

only Him being a person standing firm for his own beliefs.

Just by chance i looked for Him in Youtube 2 days ago, and today (by chance) visited a friend who played in an

Orchestra a Mass in the Thomas Moore Church in Munich to celebrate his Deathday.

That sure was an interesting "coincidence".

Well thank you very much, 1mine0. i did this over two years ago, but i guess my dad left it up here because st. thomas more is the patron saint for my church. thanks for watching and im glad you enjoyed it

Tyndale went into hiding, possibly for a time in Hamburg, and carried on working. He revised his New Testament and began translating the Old Testament and writing various treatises. In 1530 he wrote The Practyse of Prelates, which seemed to move him briefly to the Catholic side through its opposition to Henry VIII's divorce. This resulted in the king's wrath being directed at him: he asked the emperor Charles V to have Tyndale seized and returned to England.

Although by this time, England had separated from the Catholic Church and Tyndale had some supporters in the government, the Church of England continued to fight against Lutheranism. Tyndale's friends appealed to the English government to intervene, but to no avail. More also fought against the KIng of England who desired to be praised as diety and was put to death!

Angry opposition to the facts of Thomas More's history is no comment, so I removed the fictional comments that stated More was evil and a torturer. It doesn't surprise me that Liberals will try anything to justify immorality. A urine test would usually silence the crazies!

hi boy, your video is good BUT there was some wrong facts..

One of it is that Alice Middleton had 3 "Girls" and 1 "Boy"... NOT 3 boys and 1 girl

So... GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT!!

I've only watched half of your video and I was amused. My ancestor was Sir Thomas More, (through Anne Waterton of Auckland, New Zealand) and I'm sure (absolutely) that he himself would have been amused by your video. There are two qualities to his spirit - if you are in touch with him, humour / jest and music that he particularly loved. If he liked you and was friendly, he would tease you. And it would be tongue in cheek in manner. You've done very well to capture his spirit !

No, Sir Thomas More isn't "the same one as had William TYNDALE burnt at the stake for translating the bible into English." That would have been Henry VIII. He had Tyndale strangled and then his dead body burned in 1536. He had Sir Thomas More beheaded in July of 1535.

He believed that the Bible should be only in Latin, and the common people should not read it, because only the clergy should tell them what it said. Im sure the clergy told them the parts that suited them. Its true.

Isn't Thomas More the same one as had William TYNDALE burnt at the stake for translating the bible into English. Here is a man who tried to shut up the word of God from ordinary people. Here you go here is a verse from the bible you tried to surpress.

Matthew 23:13 Jesus said :Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You shut the kingdom of heaven in men's faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are trying to"
