Hanging with History
28. Bloody Mary; Memetic Failure; Reformation in England Part V
Show Notes

Mary’s efforts to restore the Catholic faith backfire with the result that Protestantism gains strength, and anti-Spanish feeling grows.  A Fornebu episode.   We explore 3 characteristic failures with the greatest being that time when Dumbledore, I mean Gandalf, uh, Cranmer foxed the regime with the help of a divinely sent comet.  His heart was unburnt.  A long episode as we also cover the shared goals of Protestants and Catholics to get closer to God and discuss some of the impact of Spain’s policies after first denying that the podcast discusses Spain too much.
