Note 93 — Sir Thomas More and the Freedom of Conscience 1529–1535

“To More a heretic was neither a simple man erring by ignorance, nor a learned man using his freedom in doubtful points: he was a man whose heart was ‘proud, poisoned, and obstinate,’ because he denied the Divine guidance of the Church while he claimed special Divine inspiration for himself.”—Rev. T. E. Bridgett.
