Breaking the cruel stereotype of Queen Mary I of England: (Please read the whole caption) The Protestant Church of England was founded by a man, not God/Jesus Christ. And not just any man, but a Catholic tyrannical man (Henry VIII). Imagine having a religion, created by a man who had opposing views to that religion he just made up. Makes absolute no sense whatsoever. How are you going to create a religion, but not even believe in that religion? The Anglican religion has its own roots traced to the Catholic Church. Afterall, it was the Holy Roman Catholic Church who crowned the first kings of Europe. If it weren’t for the Catholic church’s support to England, that country would not have been the great prosperous nation it has become. The first Anglican monarchs executed tons of innocent people based on religion. But it was mainly Elizabeth and Henry who killed for the purpose that they simply found Catholics to be annoying. Unlike Queen Mary, she ordered the executions of Protestants, but not because she found them annoying, but because Protestants threatened her throne and her own life. It had taken Mary so much work to end up with the crown that was rightfully hers. Protestants wouldn’t shut up spreading their doctrine. Mary imprisoned Protestants thinking they will finally keep their religion to themselves behind bars…but they didn’t. Protestants would purposely scream out their faith is the true one behind bars and out in the streets. They also threatened to kill Mary. This of course, was something that any monarch would want to immediately punish. As it should. Nothing would shut them up. These Protestants were the biggest problem and major threat to Mary. There was no other choice left, but to execute them. Besides that, Mary also had the belief that by executing them she was doing a good deed to God. @marysttu @veritastemporisfilia #henryviii #stopcallingherbloody #elizabethi #reformation #maryi #marytudor #protestant #thetudors #tudorhistory #history #historical #facts #historic #womeninhistory #womenshistory #herstory #historyfacts #catherineofaragon #queenmaryi #historylovers #catholicchurch #catholicism #englishhistory #churchofengland
