Сэр Томас, всецело преданный делу, исполнял свои обязанности с величайшим усердием, пока Генрих, желавший иметь наследника трона, не объявил свой брак с Екатериной Арагонской недействительным и не заявил о своем намерении жениться на Анне Болейн. Поскольку развод осуществлялся без папского одобрения и прямо противоречил законам церкви, Мор отказался поддержать решение короля. Он оставил свою службу и уединился в Челси, где, глубоко озабоченный ересями лютеровского восстания, продолжил свою литературную деятельность в защиту католической веры. | |||
Without friends and without office, More and his family lived in abject poverty. Nevertheless, Henry had been insulted at the chancellor’s public disapproval of him. The king, therefore, sought to defame More and thus restore his royal image. When Sir Thomas clearly refused to give the oath of supremacy to Henry as head of the new Church of England, he was imprisoned in the dread Tower of London. Badgered by king’s lawyers, More staunchly refused to compromise the position of the Church but diplomatically avoided direct accusation of the king, thereby saving his life and remaining a testimony to Henry’s sinful injustice. | Without friends and without office, More and his family lived in abject poverty.
