It's #Juneteenth, so here's an important lesson from @siderea connecting together the following 🧵s:

- the #SpanishReconquista,
- the #ProtestantReformation,
- the #AgeOfEnlightenment, +
- the #NewWorld ideologies they spawned.

This is our actual history. It has a through line which you definitely weren't taught in American schools. (Perhaps because once you learn about it, you can't unsee it.)

95 - L’Histoire est une chaîne aux multiples maillons. Lesquels ont indirectement relié la construction de la Basilique St-Pierre à l’arrivée du savoir-faire horloger dans le Jura ?

More served under Henry VIII as the Lord High Chancellor of England 1529-1532, but opposed the Protestant Reformation and Henry VIII's role as 'supreme head of the Church of England'. Ultimately, More was convicted of treason and executed in July 1535.

So what about More's canonisation? In 1886, Pope Leo XIII beatified More (the first step to being sainted), and Pope Pius XI canonised him in 1935. But he remains a controversial figure.
