1. Thomas More had a profound influence on Shakespeare.

This school is named after More's family estate, which he bought when he became, as Shakespeare had him say, "allied to the great." He sang in the local church choir, had a small zoo, and educated his family there, while receiving important guests like Henry VIII. Fitting topic.

Thomas More's life and writings took centuries longer to come to light and be organized the way such a monumental writer, thinker, poet, statesman would normally be published and presented to the world. Why? False Tudor propaganda and legal suppression of his faith & writings.

Happy #AprilFoolsDay2024, which is an unofficial feast day of Sir and St. Thomas More, for after all, More himself loved the pun in ancient Greek of his last name:
μῶρος or morus = fool!

Post a hero that society treated like a villain.

In Britain, it is not even close.

@asymmetricinfo *Under the unchangeable law of God. The priesthood cannot help but be male. The incarnation of Christ was not a chance meeting of gametes, but the world's first sex-selective (male) human birth...for a reason.

Happy birthday to our patron, St. Thomas More!

Thomas More scholar @mtmehan is speaking tomorrow in honor of my birthday, Feb. 7, 1478 A.D., @ChelseaAcadVA, which is named after my homestead of Chelsea.

Given More's witty satire, in his Utopia, of the willful Platonist, who cannot brook even the smallest disagreement, this, after a brief disagreement, to which this online "philosopher" first replied with dismissive vituperation, may be a very creative bit of performance art.

[Sir Thomas More @DivorceKills]

@MattRob78281471 I can see you're right about the last part. You're not interested in discussion.

@MattRob78281471 Hah! I just said More was more of a Ciceronian because he did not like taking up Philosophical schools as his identity. Your response is comical. And to say the descriptor "Ciceronian" is meaningless is, alas, not very meaningful.

[Sir Thomas More @DivorceKills]

@MattRob78281471 I did not intend to instigate an agon. But there it is. And your total dismissal of another view seems unMorean from where I sit. Sorry to trouble your waters, as I've clearly done.

[Sir Thomas More @DivorceKills]

@MattRob78281471 This preference for moral over metaphysical philosophical concerns is certainly a part of Plato, which, as I agree with you, More loved. But the desire to BE in a school of philosophy? More was a Ciceronian precisely to slip such Platonic and Hellenic bonds toward active life.
