Misplaced Desire to Honor
- Donald R. McClarey
Donald R. McClarey
Cradle Catholic. Active in the pro-life movement since 1973. Father of three, one in Heaven, and happily married for 43 years. Small town lawyer and amateur historian. Former president of the board of directors of the local crisis pregnancy center for a decade.
Thomas More daughter, Margaret Roper took the head of her father off the post and saved More’s head until she died. It is very possible that More’s head is not in his tomb.

If they wish to honor the man, they would do better to commission a statue.

King Charles is the head of the Church of England. The Anglicans want a Pope, a real Pope.
