So by what right do I appropriate a preface to Christian Saint to my purposes? What first attracted me [to Thomas More] A Man for was a person who could not be accused of any incapacity for life, who indeed seized life in great…quantities. Nevertheless, All Seasons found something in himself without which life was valueless and when that was de- nied him was able to grasp his death. Thomas More was respectably not nobly born, in the merchant class, the progres- sive class of the epoch, distinguished himself first as a scholar, then as a lawyer, was made an Ambassador, finally Lord Chancellor. A visitors’ book at his house in Chelsea would have looked like a Six- teenth Century Who’s Who: Holbein, Eras- mus, Colet, everybody. He corresponded with the greatest minds in Europe. He was a friend of the King, who would send for More when his social appetites took a turn in that direction. Another thing that attracted me to this amazing man was his splendid social ad- justment. So far from being one of society’s sore teeth he was almost indecently suc- cessful…He parted with more than most men when he parted with his life, for he accepted and enjoyed his social context. Why do I take as my hero a man who brings about his own death because he can’t put his hand on an old black book and tell an ordinary lie? For this reason: A man takes an oath only when he wants to commit himself quite exceptionally to the statement, when he wants to make an identity between the truth of it and his own virtue; he offers himself as a guaran- tee. And it works. There is a special kind of shrug for a perjurer; we feel that the 4 man has no self to commit, no guaran- There are still some for whom that is tee to offer. We would prefer most men perfectly simple, but for most it can to guarantee their statements with, only be a metaphor.

(Excerpted for length) Producer’s Note: The playwright created a character called ‘The Common Man,’ who speaks directly to the audience. The word ‘common’ was intended to mean ‘that which is common to us all’; someone with whom the audience could identify with as a kind of a mirror as we watch the interaction of these great men of court. To my mind, this character lifts this 58-year-old play out of the tumultuous 16th century and gives contemporary 21st century audiences something to ponder on our way home. – Max McLean 5 WHO’S WHO JOHN AHLIN (Wolsey/ Cha- MICHAEL COUNTRYMAN puys) Broadway: Waiting for (Thomas More): Broadway: Godot, Journey’s End (Tony M.

THE RELEVANCE OF ST. THOMAS MORE RICHARD A. VACHON, S.J.* T HOMAS MORE WAS the contemporary man. I mean this not in the sense Winston Churchill had in mind when he wrote, "More stood forth as the defender of all that was finest in the medieval outlook." Rather, Thomas More was our man. He worked for a salary and met a payroll. Long before urban sprawl, More was a city man-Reynolds calls him the greatest of all Londoners. He was born in the city and lived in the heart of it for nearly 50 years. Then he became a suburbanite-opening up Chelsea. He invested in land, leasing farmland to tenant-farmers or holding it on speculation. He was a politician, probably the only canonized saint who ever ran for public office and won. And when Parliament elected him Speaker, he petitioned and received from the King immunity for the members of the House to express their opinions freely on the matters submitted to them.

A LEGAL CAREER FOR ALL SEASONS: REMEMBERING ST. THOMAS MORE'S VOCATION VERYL VICTORIA MILES* The vast majority of the work taking place in most law schools is the preparation of law students for the practice of law; namely, to teach legal theory and doctrine, legal analysis, writing, and advocacy. In sum, the goal of most law schools is to teach the many different skills required in law practice and the profes- sional rules of legal ethics. What appears to be lacking in the preparation of future lawyers are lessons on how to incorporate this vast amount of specialized learning and skill in ways that will be harmonious with the personal, moral, and ethical values that they possessed at the commencement of their legal education.
