“Mistrust Him, Meg, I will not, even if I feel myself faint."
In this episode, we present the entirety of Dialogue on Conscience, by St. Thomas More and his daughter Margaret.
Dialogue on Conscience is presented in the form of two letters; the first is written by More’s stepdaughter, Alice Alington, to his eldest daughter, Margaret Roper; the second is a letter written by Margaret in response to Alice — itself the record of a dialogue between Margaret and St. Thomas that provides us with an invaluable look into More's wit, personality, and faith.
