On this feast day for the great St. Thomas More, watch this excerpt from the Academy Award winning film, “A Man for All Seasons.” Paul Scofield won best actor for his portrayal of Thomas More, the man of great conscience.
St. Thomas would not compromise his religion by bending to the will of King Henry VIII and sanctioning his divorce. He was martyred for his convictions.
Pray for us, St. Thomas More, in a time when American’s religious freedom is being threatened by our own King Henry.
