| Yeah, the Catholic connection is fascinating, and the war between the Elizabethan/Jacobean Catholics and Protestants is something that never quite got explained in American high schools, or even colleges. Who knew the Pope had given implicit permission to assassinate Elizabeth, and that's one reason Catholics in England were fiercely persecuted, and the defeat of the Spanish Armada -- representing a Catholic country -- was so important. And all this touched Shakespeare because he was raised in an often secretly Catholic family. Religion might be what ended his father's career. |
