Sir Thomas More<\/strong> (7 February 1478 \u2013 6 July 1535), also known as Saint Thomas More<\/strong>, was an English lawyer<\/a>, scholar, author<\/a> and statesman<\/a>. He is also recognised as being a saint<\/a> within the Catholic Church<\/a>. During his life he gained a reputation as a leading Renaissance humanist<\/a>, an opponent of the Protestant Reformation<\/a> of Martin Luther<\/a> and wrote long treatises opposing William Tyndale<\/a> and others who wished to see the Bible<\/a> translated into the English language<\/a>.\u00a0 For three years toward the end of his life he was Lord Chancellor<\/a>.<\/p>\n

More coined the word “utopia<\/a>” – a name he gave to the ideal, imaginary island nation whose political system he described in Utopia<\/a><\/em>, published in 1516. An important counsellor to Henry VIII of England<\/a>, he was imprisoned and executed by beheading<\/a> in 1535 after he had fallen out of favour with the king over his refusal to sign the Act of Supremacy 1534<\/a>, which declared the king to be the Supreme Head<\/a> of the Church of England<\/a>, effecting a final split with the Catholic Church<\/a> in Rome<\/a>. More was beatified<\/a> by the Catholic Church in 1886 and canonised, with John Fisher<\/a>, in 1935. In 1980, he was added to the Church of England calendar of saints.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
