An Interview with Joseph Pearce on Sir Thomas More
Saint Benedict Press author and Catholic Courses professor Joseph Pearce discusses the early modern English play, Sir Thomas More. Pearce was invited to write the introduction to the first Spanish edition of the play. Pearce argues that the play is pro-Catholic and was likely written entirely by William Shakespeare, rather than Anthony Munday.
Joseph Pearce is writer-in-residence at the Thomas More College of Liberal Arts and is editor of the Saint Austin Review. Links below.

Defense of the Faith: A Forum on “Religious Liberty” (Part 4 of 4 – Nancy Matthews)
Defense of the Faith: A Forum on Religious Liberty (PART 4 OF 4)
Mrs. Nancy Matthews: “Why the Committee? Why now? Its Goals and Objectives.”
PART 1: Introduction (http://youtu.be/9v3FQYZ_d9g)
PART 2: Dr. Grattan Brown (http://youtu.be/pR6h2imFGv4)
PART 3: Mr. Kyle Duncan (http://youtu.be/o-qfS4Q7Z_w)
On March 21, 2010, the United States House of Representatives voted on, and narrowly passed, a new national healthcare reform bill. Two days later, President Barack Obama signed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act into federal law. On January 20, 2012, over repeated objections by the United States Catholic Bishops and other religious leaders, the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services reaffirmed a rule mandating that virtually all private healthcare plans must cover sterilization, abortifacients and contraception by plan years beginning on or after August 1, 2012.
This action has been called by many religious leaders an egregious violation of the first amendment which states that: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof . . .”
On Saturday, February 11, 2012, over one hundred attendees gathered for a forum on religious liberties hosted on the campus of Belmont Abbey College. The event was moderated by Dr. William Thierfelder, president of Belmont Abbey College. Three nationally-recognized speakers took the podium.
Dr. Grattan Brown, Associate Professor of Theology at Belmont Abbey College, opened the forum with his presentation on Natural Law as the foundation for religious liberty, addressing various contraceptive methods mandated under the new administrative guidelines, and their potential to function as abortifacients in violation of Natural Law.
Mr. Kyle Duncan, Senior Legal Counsel for the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, a public interest law firm located in Washington, DC, spoke on the accelerating legal challenges to religious liberty in the United States.
Mrs. Nancy Matthews, recently retired Chancellor and General Counsel for the Diocese of Bridgeport, CT, closed the forum with a presentation on the goals and objectives of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops’ ad hoc committee on religious liberty. Mrs. Matthews is currently a consultant to this committee.
It is our hope that this forum will help you to better understand these issues facing the Catholic Church and nearly all employers in America today and encourage you to take action to ensure the continued protection of religious freedom.
