    Becket: "I also am the king's friend."
    Folliot: "As chancellor."
    Becket: "But now I wear the mitre."
    One of the best scenes of the movie. A truely powerful and honest prayer. Becket may not have always led a saintly life, but after his ordination, he became God's servant over the king's. Let us all be God's servants first.

    Becket’s Holiday
    I saw the spires of Canterbury when I was just a lad
    Watching o’er my wandering in the travels that I had
    And so I came to yearn for where a lamb had laid his head
    and where I could but put to rest those passions that had fled
    I promised that I’d come to see where Thomas had been laid
    near histories unspoken shame that every man had made
    and sit beside his tomb beneath that sacred hallowed vault
    where echoes of his agony were pardoning my fault

    They multiply Priests and saints with a sullen face, perform miracles, cast out demons. Jesus said the tree is known by its fruit.
    THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO MATTHEW
    7: 21-23:
    21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and did many miracles in your name?' 23 Then will I tell them plainly that I did not know you at all. Get away from me, you workers of iniquity.
    Matthew 7: 15-20
    15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do they gather grapes from thorns or figs from thistles? 17 So every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; and an evil tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 20 Ye shall know them by their fruits.
    B. LETTER TO CORINTHIANS (Apostle Paul)
    11: 13-15:
    13 For such are the apostles, liars, deceitful workers, impersonating the apostles of Christ. 14 And it is not surprising. because Satan also takes the form of a bright angel.15 Wherefore, it is not a great thing that his ministers should be likened unto the ministers of righteousness. Their end will be in proportion to their deeds.
    4: 4. In whom is the god of this world?
    (Satan) blinded the minds of the unbelievers, that the light of the glory of the gospel of Christ might not shine upon them, which is the image of God.

      The protestants are those who apply to these words. We catholic remain faithful to Our Lord's Church and the Holy Fathers who interpreted the Holy Scriptures long before Luther, Henry VIII or Calvin were born. There's no salvation outside the Church, wich Our Lord founded on the rock of Saint Peter, that died at Rome. He gave him the power to close and open everything between Heaven and earth, as says the same gospel you've mentioned.
      We do not adore the saints. They intercede for us in Heaven: we know they are there, as Our Lord confirmed their holyness by the exact FRUITS you've mentioned: they were virtuous, pious, filled with charity and wisdom. Now, who aree you, who dares to accuse them? Those, who gave their lives for Our Lord and Saviour. What have you given to Our Lord? Most of them gave their own blood to defend the gospel: others, if not the blood, gave their hearts enterily.
      The fruits that these saints you've accused are fruits of holyness. Now, what are the fruits of protestantism, caqn you list them? A divided Europe, atheist countries, 1000 of different interpretations of the Holy Scripture. Well, we shall know the tree by its fruits: I only see evil fruits in one side, and it isn't the catholic one.
      Try no study more about Church's history, above all the saint's lifes. One who studies that cannot remain protestant.
