Entry: Englishmen, and Other Aborigines Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/englishmen_and_other_aborigines#420 Post contents: Yes, Pilgrims were fanatical, but they had to leave England because they were not wanted there, and risked a sad end in an England that had ceased to be “merry”. As for the ”traditional English liberties”, they had ceased to be such, especially for those who did not belong to the C of E. Yes, not all Catholics were obliterated. Those who went underground survived! Many small Protestant sects were indeed eliminated, and even the relationship between Anglicans and Presbyterians was not the best either. Speaking of terrorists I think Oliver Cromwell is a better example than Guy Fawkes. At least a much more successful one. Finally, J Ball states: “the relatively peaceful and tolerant reign of her C of E sister Elizabeth was considered a relief and a blessing even by the Catholics of England”, you have to be kidding… Sent at: 2008 12 02
