Historical records, notes, and manuscripts from Cranmer’s life point to King Henry VIII as the major influencer from 1529 onward. Since Scripture states God appoints leadership, Cranmer believed that the Supreme Headship expressed God’s will and it was his duty to serve the King and support him in his endeavors. On February 6, 1536, during Parliamentary sessions, Thomas Cranmer launched into a series of weekly sermons at Paul’s Cross. This would be the last Parliamentary session for the next three years, and its importance was signaled by the attendance of the Lord Chancellor Audley and the assembled clergy of Convocation. The theme and objective of Cranmer’s sermon was that the Pope was the Antichrist. Additionally, Cranmer drew attention

Although Basilian Monasticism had been declining in Italy, in part because of frequent Muslim attack, Saint Nilus revitalized, despite the many dangers involved. He had several other religious accomplishments, including supporting Pope Gregory V against antipope John XVI, and writing some liturgical poetry. However, he was not always such a pious man. Until his thirtieth year, Nilus (whose baptismal name was Nicholas) was fairly lukewarm about his religion, and lived a licentious youth. It is believed that he lived with a woman whom he was not married to, that bore him a daughter. His conversion came when his daughter and her mother died from illness. From then, he became a hermit, trying to mimic early Church Fathers. Eventually, after living at several

Faith and reason are the two wings that help the man to rise to the truth. Faith and Reason (Fides et Ratio) are like two wings on which the human spirit rises to the contemplation of truth. This expression leads Pope John Paul II 's encyclical "Fides et Ratio". After reading this encyclical, I was amazed in how Pope John Paul II, in so few many words is able to synthesize the core of his letter, the subject of truth, something essential in life and history of men. Thus, as Pope John Paul II sponsors the capacity of human reason to be aware of the truth and demand that faith and philosophy again find their profound unity. He, as head of our Church wanted to affirm the need to reflect on the truth.
