See that's the problem with religion.

I know I've advocated for a state run religion before for absolute moral control over people but I was more experimenting with the idea.

James promised leniency. And he was lenient compared to Henry and some others, but not lenient enough, thus the Gunpowder Plot to blow him up in 1605

The legendary hero Guy Fawkes, whose death is still celebrated as Bonfire Night

If you've got time dm me some articles over the history of England in the late middle ages, and the persecution of the catholics.

But for now I need to head to bed. Thanks for being civil.

Falling asleep. 1:17am need to be up at 6

Alright man, I gotta hit the hay as well

/renassaince era since we're around that time period

Jesus I can't spell

Night

Noticed how schools do that stuff

I had the same thi g where they taught me Catholics were what made the pilgrims leave and other stuff like McCarthy where they vilified him compleatly

Saw that Razorfist video about him and we were never taught any of that stuff

Mayflower cast off in 1620

James Charles Stuart was King from 1603-1625

Yeah my school books even said Europeans came here because of Catholic persecution. All the way up to college Early American History.

He's the one who commissioned the King James Version

Catholics don't use it officially. We use RSV, Douay-Rheims, NAB

Is there a KJV with the apocryphal books? Not familiar enough with catholic bibles. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Originally yes

It had them all moved to a separate section in the back

James being the one Guy Fawkes tried to blow up

His second son succeeded the throne, Charles, and was also Anglican but his wife was Catholic, and he was an asshole, so he got overthrown by Oliver Cromwell and executed for treason in 1649. Cromwell England passed even more anti-Catholic laws, and he became a dictator himself

Charles was more tolerant, and his brother James II was a secret Catholic. Charles converted on his deathbed. James ruled for three years as the last Catholic monarch

His daughter and son-in-law overthrew him because of his religion and peaceful relationship with France

And his sister-in-law Queen Anne, had big tits and united England and Scotland

She is the namesake of Blackbeard's ship

None of them had any heirs, so the next in line was a Catholic Hanover, and Parliament would not have this, so they passed a law that banned Catholics, and anyone who married a Catholic, from the throne. Still in effect today except the marriage provision was abolished in 2015

The current debate is that if repealed it would mean the end of the Anglican Church particularly as the state religion

These guys are fucking unreal

What did they expected haha

The fuck place is that

South Africa
