Pressure was then used by the civil authorities on the Church and its officials and members for questionable objectives. Is what is going on in Boston today a repetition? In Old England it was the matter of a divorce. But today the matter generating tension between the Church and civil officials may be about abortion, embryonic stem cell research, or the meaning of family, just to mention a few areas of disagreement on contemporary issues between the Church and some civil authorities. Is the situation in New England of today like that of the Old England of Thomas More, Cardinal Wolsey, and King Henry? And is the use of pressure by civil authorities once again being contemplated for questionable purposes? Religious liberty was in harms way five hundred years ago.
