KOA' critiscms of the Catholic Church
While KOA was very devoted to her Roman Catholic faith, in private she was very vocal about thing such as fake relics and the emphisis of Sains - ironically she was actually painted as two Saints during her teenage years - does anyone know in extra information about this, such as quotes etc.?

So what religion is it now?? potentional spoiler for ep.9
I have been sooo conpuzzled as to what religion the king is a part of... First, catholic, then reformist as Anne B came along, then the king did some changes etc and then Jane S was a catholic then Anne of C was a lutheran, the Kitty H catholic now Katherine P a reformist... What about the king? Up until the 9th ep I thought that Gardiner was a Reformist as they never showed him with Mary. I am just so confused. If the king decided to be a catholic again(has he?) then is he back in good terms with Rome?
Also, the scene at the end where Katherine "preaches" the king - weren't these his ideas when he was with Anne B.?
Someone please throw light on this for me as it is just too confusing...

Catherine Parr Reformer
Did I miss something on any of the episodes, how is it that Lady Mary and others are convinced or at least suspicious that CP is a reformer? I know that in reality she was but as far as the show is concerned I have not noticed any scene(s) where she may have given away any inclination to her true faith to have the Catholic faction already after her

Mary, her view of Prodestants and why she burned them
I don't know where everyone always gets the idea that Mary hated Prodestant people. A few key examples include her friendship with Anne of Cleves and Katherine Parr, not to mention her romance with Phillip of Bavaria.When she became Queen she didn't burn them either except when things started to go badly for her. Her husband left her, she was unable to concieve a child and her own half sister Elizabeth was plotting against her. I think that in desperation she resorted to the burning because the prodestant people in her honest opinion were the cause of all her problems. Anne Boleyn ruined everything for her, the prodestants wanted her younger, prettier sister on the throne and her dead. She had had to kill Jane Grey because of this and in the end the Prodestant people utterly destroyed her. I don't condone the burnings but I do believe they were the last act of a desperate woman who had waited her entire life for the throne and in the end she had nothing left, she was utterly abandoned.
