This is a somewhat lesser version of a video I posted to my facebook profile. Unfortunately the "embed video" option no longer seems to work. Hopefully I will be able to post a better version soon. I put together this tribute to Saint Thomas More and Saint John Fisher from inspiring scenes taken from the incredible show "The Tudors." I intend no copyright infringement, I have simply been so taken with the series and especially with its portrayal of these heroes of the faith that I hope that everyone will get the chance to watch the whole series themselves. If you love history, you will LOVE it. Catholics and other Christians will not be disappointed, as all the players in the English Reformation are treated fairly. I have had a great love for Saint Thomas More ever since seeing Paul Scofield in "A Man for All Seasons," and since then have read about his life and asked his intercession, especially when I had to make difficult decisions. Although I would still choose "A Man for All Seasons" in the scenes which are identical or nearly so, I am still very grateful that "The Tudors" has given an even more thorough cinematic portrayal of these great men. I shudder when I see how unlike them I am. May their example, as it has now for centuries, inspire all of us to become, like them, people who do what is right, no matter the cost.
