the Cause Explanation: I'm not sure we discuss it a lot in those terms... But this is a quotation from the Catholic encyclopedia site (you have to scroll down quite some way after clicking on the link). ... and Wolsey, although the whole divorce policy ran counter to his better judgment, strained every nerve to secure a decision in his master's favour. An account of the mission of Gardiner and Foxe and of the failure of the divorce proceedings before the papal commissioners, Wolsey and Campeggio, mainly on account of the production of the Brief, has been given in some detail in the article CLEMENT VII, to which the reader is referred. The revocation of the cause to Rome in July, 1529, owing, no doubt, in part to Queen Catherine's most reasonable protests against her helplessness in England and the compulsion to which she was subjected, had many important results.... ******** Not a very objective account of the case - but then the Protestant side would not be objective either. You may be able to find other hits if you search. Reference: http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/07222a.htm |
