Entry: Englishmen, and Other Aborigines Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/englishmen_and_other_aborigines#387 Post contents: I strongly disagree with reader H.A.'s comments on the glorious Chruch of England, which gave anglophone peoples spirititual and literary masterpieces such as the Book of Common Prayer and the Authorized Version (the King James Bible). Yes, the C of E employed coercion in the 16th and 17th centuries, but so did ever other church in that period. At least the C of E has nothing like the Spanish Inquisition or St Bartholomew's Day Massacre on its hands. As a conservative Roman Catholic, I do believe that the C of E is heretical and schismatic, but there is no reason to bash the Mother Church of Edmund Burke and the martyr-king Charles I.
