The Tragedy of Good Intentions. When Saints Unknowingly Place Discipline over Mission.

If you had lived in London in 1514, a few years before Martin Luther even made it into the news, you would have been keenly aware that the Church’s structural and political powers were cracking. And in part it was accelerated by a man we would go on to proclaim a saint—Thomas More.

He remains an inspirational saint to me. Someone I think we should continue to pray to for intercession. He was a loyal, obedient son to the Church and clearly a close disciple of Jesus Christ. But if we had the opportunity to interview the saint in this day and age, I can’t help but wonder if he would rethink some of his decisions.
