SAINTS Protestant theologians attacked what they saw as the idolatrous worship of saints within Catholicism and called for an end to the superstition and hysteria that they believed had come to dominate their cults. Protestants argued that Christians should not make the mistake of treating saints as false idols to worship but should see them simply as admirable examples to follow.The most defining feature of this period is the conflict created between the Catholic Church and those who wanted to reform Christian practices. In this volatile and frequently violent period, faith and allegiances would be severely tested and the result was often the creation of new martyrs and saints. St Thomas More Today Thomas More ranks amongst a relatively small number of English saints who are widely acknowledged throughout the Roman Catholic Church and is amongst the most famous martyrs of the Reformation. He was born in London in 1478 and was the son of a barrister called Sir John More. As a boy of thirteen he was sent to the household of John Morton, the Archbishop of Canterbury. Morton placed him at Canterbury College in Oxford but his father recalled him to London. He was instead directed to a career in law and was called to the bar in 1501. He expressed interest in a religious vocation early on and considered joining the priesthood or the Friars Minor but, in the event, More did embark on a career as a lawyer. He married his first wife Jane Colt in 1505 and had four children (three daughters called Margaret, Elizabeth and Cicely and a son named John) with her before her death in 1511.The couple also adopted a girl who had been orphaned •90•
SAINTS DURING THE REFORMATION called Margaret. Shortly after the death of his first wife More remarried a widow called Alice Middleton, primarily so that his children should not grow up without a mother in their lives. It has often been noted that More did not share the commonly held view of women of the society that he lived in and expended great time and effort upon the education of his daughters. He believed that men and women were of equal intelligence. More’s abilities were noticed by Henry VIII and he gave him the post of Under Sheriff of London in 1510. He later made him his envoy to Flanders in 1516 and, in the following year, More became a counsellor to the king. Following a diplomatic mission to the Holy Roman <strong>Emperor</strong> King Charles V on behalf of Henry VIII, More was awarded a knighthood. He was given the role of Speaker of the House of Commons in 1523. He also became known as the author of literary works, including the widely celebrated Utopia, written in 1515. When the marriage of HenryVIII and Catherine of Aragon did not produce the son and heir that Henry wanted so desperately, the king took steps to seek an annulment. Henry’s favour turned towards Anne Boleyn, a lady of the royal court. Cardinal Wolsey attempted to secure an annulment of their marriage from Pope ClementVII but, when his efforts proved unsuccessful, he provoked the displeasure of the king. Under pressure from Henry, Wolsey then left his post as Lord Chancellor. In 1529, Henry gave the position toThomas More who was initially supportive of the king’s claims that his marriage to Catherine had been unlawful. As Lord Chancellor he demonstrated a particular disgust for heretics, viewing them as a potentially destabilising danger to society. During CardinalWolsey’s tenure as Lord Chancellor, More was active •91•
