REMEMBER ~ REMEMBER ~ THE FIFTH OF NOVEMBER !
B ONFIRE NIGHT celebrates the failed plot to blow up PARLIAMENT
O N Fifth of November 1605 and assassinate King James I
F AWKES was the man selected to ignite the GUNPOWDER
I N the cellar under the House of Parliament in LONDON ! Please
R EALISE that the Gunpowder Plot was not The Catholic Church
E SSENTIALLY it was FANATICS like GUY FAWES who was ENGLISH.
N OBODY knew about the PLOT and it would have succeeded
I F SOME of the Conspiritors (not wanting to kill innocents) had not
G IVEN the game away by writing to one of the MPS asking
H IM not to attend Parliament that Night !
T HE KING heard about the PLOT and Guy Fawkes was captured !
O N Bonfire Night in the UK ~ WE burn an effigy of GUY FAWKES
K INGS & QUEENS still rule in UK ~ We*ll never be a REPUBLIC !
Thanks for visiting ~ comments please ~ Love A & B ๐งก๐๐งก๐๐งก
I would stress that it was not THE CATHOLIC CHURCH that
initiated the GUNPOWDER PLOT but a Group of Devout Catholics
led by THOMAS CATESBY an Englishman. They thought that KING
JAMES would be much less tolerant than QUEEN ELIZABETH I and
plotted to assassinate HIM ! Because they realised innocent MPS
would also die they warned some to stay away from Parliament
thus undermining their PLOT ! QUEEN ELIZABETH II is not a
CATHOLIC but they have freedom to Worship in the UK. The Pope
has paid very successful visits to the UK and is always WELCOME !
