Ah, "Man for All Seasons", my favorite work of revisionist history that rehabilitates the image of a renowned burner of human flesh.




Looking at the Wikipedia entry for More, he's no angel but also no torch wielding maniac.

The punishment for "heretics" that he rooted out was almost always burning. He knew anyone found guilty would die by burning and was fine with that.
