In 1929, 400 years after the martyrdom of Saint Thomas More, G.K. Chesterton said, “Thomas More is more important at this moment than at any moment since his death…but he is not quite so important as he will be in a hundred years.” Those words are true today, and apply as well to More’s friend Saint John Fisher, England’s one faithful bishop during King Henry VIII’s reign.
Please join the IHE for a virtual discussion with the Director of the IHE’s M.A. in Human Rights, Professor William Saunders and the Honorable Robert J. Conrad Jr. as they discuss Judge Conrad’s book John Fisher and Thomas More: Keeping Their Souls While Losing Their Heads, and learn about, and from, these magnanimous saints.
On matters of faith, conscience, courage and public service, there are perhaps no better models.
This event is cosponsored by the Center for Law and the Human Person, the Project on Constitutional Originalism and the Catholic Intellectual Tradition, and the Catholic Information Center.
