What a moment. I found an important book once, but that hardly counts.

Both these Protestants were martyred for not being Protestant enough, and it has been said that Charles would have been spared if he had agreed to abolish the CofE episcopacy (an episcopacy whose validity was formally denied by Rome in the nineteenth century).<br /> Has anyone seen this matter (Laud/Stuart) discussed on the blogosphere lately? I know it's rather trivial compared to the other issues and obstacles involved, but I'm curious.tubbshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07272003035464034763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7534539169157708222.post-30032638301973704222009-12-07T04:08:41.877-05:002009-12-07T04:08:41.877-05:00His Catholic wife Queen Henrietta Maria, so I'...His Catholic wife Queen Henrietta Maria, so I've heard, certainly thought of him as a martyr who was with the saints in Heaven. Some also said he became a Catholic secretly though I tend to doubt that only because that was said as an accusation by his enemies for whom becoming Catholic was as good as becoming a satanist.MadMonarchisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08083008336883267870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7534539169157708222.post-53528871961231503332009-12-06T11:51:21.660-05:002009-12-06T11:51:21.660-05:00Fascinating post--as the linked article notes, the...Fascinating post--as the linked article notes, the artist intended the parallel between the mockery of Jesus and the mockery of Charles I. Through publication of "Eikon Basilike" Charles became regarded as a martyr for the Church of England--his Feast is on January 30 as King and Martyr of the Church of England Calendar of Holy Days(his Archbishop of Canterbury, William Laud, is also honored!) Of course, we must remember that the Church of England has no method or process of canonizing saints and makes no claim that those honored on their calendar are actually in heaven!!Stephanie A.
