Mi sono trovato in Inghilterra il 29 giugno e mi ha molto colpito l’attaccamento che ancora oggi i cattolici inglesi hanno verso il Papa e verso la Chiesa di Roma. Questo attaccamento ha le sue radici nel doloroso scisma che si consumò nel XVI secolo, strappando l’Inghilterra alla vera fede. L’autore di questo scisma fu il re Enrico VIII, che in preda a una diabolica passione per una damigella di Corte, Anna Bolena, divorziò dalla moglie Caterina d’Aragona e, contro il divieto papale, la sposò nel 1533. Papa Clemente VII non riconobbe il matrimonio e l’anno successivo Enrico VIII fece votare dal Parlamento l’Atto di Supremazia con cui il Regno si separava dalla religione cattolica romana e costituiva una chiesa nazionale, detta poi anglicana, di cui il Re era il capo supremo. Il popolo inglese era cattolico ma furono pochi gli ecclesiastici, i dignitari e gli aristocratici, che osarono mettersi contro il sovrano, sfidando la prigione e la morte che li aspettava.
