I would have pointed out she could not win by making lots of noise but encouraged her to keep her belief close to her heart and keep her own counsel. The differences in faith have caused many heart aches before and since, I feel that your religion is yours and mine is mine, we can talk but I wont be forcing mine on you, nor would I want yours forced on me :-) Mary should have been allowed her faith, sadly it was not faith but politics, and in that I have less understanding. Poor Mary was damned if she did and damned if she didn't! She didn't help herself, but she was between a rock and a hard place.Ruan Peathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17999492027801288004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5502671101756463249.post-65699686879702249102017-11-30T13:29:23.729+00:002017-11-30T13:29:23.729+00:00Mary had a strong faith and came from a line of co...Mary had a strong faith and came from a line of courageous and determined women so I might have advised her to be true to her own beliefs. I would then have tried to ensure that Henry did not find out what had been said!AnnPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12336938252996563422noreply@blogger.com
