tude, and its revival is not advocated
by even the most fervent of Anglo
Catholics. II was Henry VIII, who
destroyed the Beckett tradition. The
king was (as always) in need Of
money, and the shrine of St. Thomas
in Canterbury Cathedral seemed a
suitable object for legalized loot. So

bones OF the saint should be burned
and the offerings made at his shrine
the trophies of three centuries and
a half-forfeited to the crown. Beckett
was to be decanonized, his images to
be destroyed and his name erased
from the service books. The work
was faithfully performed. "The name
of Geta," writes Deem STANLEY, has
not been more carefully erased by his
rival brother on every monument OF
the Roman Empire"
