Reply to comment by [deleted] in TIL that in 1554 Elizabeth Crofts hid in a wall on Aldersgate Street, where she pretended to be a heavenly voice. Reputedly 17,000 people came to listen to her give out anti-Catholic propaganda. by Kurma-the-Turtle

This is 16th century England, not Mexico. The English reformation was kickstarted by a fat king wanting to manage his own church and not having to listen to the Pope anymore, it wasn't some grandiose fight for freedom and against foreign encroachment.

Hell, Henry VIII had been named Defender of the [Catholic] Faith by the Pope only a few years before he left the church!
