The man for all seasons (1966) Paul Scofield
The reformation came at an
important time for England. In any event it was mainly overdue given the harsh
constraints of following dictates from Rome that did not fit with the needs of
the people at the time, particularly
in respect of divorce as a legitimate
alternative to "Royal execution" of Queens to fit the letter of the
law as it were.
The conflict between those who follow a sense of conscience and
duty - based on legalities and semantics rather than
dictates of the best spirited
cause.
There are those that assign a certain value to certain gestures or oaths,
not allowing an encroachment into this sense
of
perfect allegiance, even while being unable to maintain a reasonable conscience
instead, all too often as a result of
such shallow thinking.
On the other hand human nature and its best
disposition on such matters - it really deals with composition in fact - after
all it is my claim that we are differently endowed each one of us as to our
sense of right reason in these matters to the
extent of identifying altogether
differing orientations between men. Should someone
lose his life and high office - executed
in fact for not allowing his conscience
to be bothered by agreeing to divorce as an option for the king of the day?
