- Title
Thomas More on Inquisitorial Due Process.
- Authors
KELLY, HENRY ANSGAR
- Abstract
The article discusses Thomas More's views on the inquisitorial due process in England in the 1530s. It focuses on More's publication of "Apology" in 1533 to criticize an anonymous tract titled "A Treatise Concerning the Division Between the Spirituality and Temporalty" and "A Dialogue Betwixt Two Englishmen, Whereof One Was Called Salem and the Other Byzance," which were later traced to a well-established lawyer Christopher Saint German. Also discussed are the authority of ordinaries in punishing sin, questions on More's knowledge of canon law and the inquisitorial procedure that leads to a violation of due process and conviction of innocent people.
