I think since I found this a year and a half ago, I might have watched it all. The new posts are compilations of older shows.

Tony, Catholic pilgrims did not attend “services” which is a protestant designation for divine worship, but rather they attended Mass. There is no doubt at this particular time in history , well before the English “reformation” and the tragic dissolution of the monasteries, it was Catholic Mass pilgrims attended and not protestant “ Communion services!”

The word reformation when referring to the dissolution of the English monasteries is normally styled thus: Reformation. Your use of punctuation and choice of adjective betrays bias. Not everyone considers this fact of history "tragic." And no, I am not Protestant.

@@thomasbell7033 The vast majority of English Catholics saw no need for a “reformation” particularly since it was viciously and cruelly imposed by Henry VIII . Unlike Germany, and some of the other European countries this was not a “ grassroots movement” by the people ,but a political move by Henry to sanction an adulterous relationship with Anne Boleyn, whom he later unjustly murdered because she could not produce a male heir. Secondly, most historians agree, that the dissolution of the monasteries and the confiscation of its lands and financial assets had nothing to do with any “Reformation “ but everything to do with filling the royal coffers with money in order to support Henry’s luxurious lifestyle and foreign wars!!! The use of quotations around the word “Reformation “ is not “ bias“ but has everything to do with an accurate historical presentation of the facts! There was very little to “reform” in the Catholic Church in England in the 16th century. By all accounts , the Church was very healthy with the vast majority of English Catholics attending Mass, and receiving the sacraments in faith. Most Englishmen were living the Catholic Faith devoutly as their ancestors had been doing since 597 A.D. when Pope St Gregory the Great sent St Augustine from Rome to bring the English into full communion with the Catholic Church.
