Assuming of course, the boys were murdered, which in itself is speculation. Richard is considered the most likely suspect, as the bulk of evidence points towards his hand in it. Truth be told, we don’t know who killed the princes in the tower and we likely never will. Since then I have had a couple of emails asking me if Margaret Beaufort killed the princes, why do so many people still think Richard did it? Welcome to the world of historical fiction. ![]() ![]() In the last episode we saw the deaths of the princes in the tower Edward V and Richard, Duke of York, at the orders of Margaret Beaufort and the hand of the Duke of Buckingham. The White Queen finishes airing in the UK on Sunday, and so I can resume non Plantagenet blogging, while wondering how on earth they are going to fit so much of the final year of Richard III including the deaths of his son, wife, an alleged affair with his niece and the battle of Bosworth in an hour long episode? The disappearance of the two princes is one of the most enduring mysteries in history and thus has inspired a great deal of related fiction. ![]()

The Love of GodĪs a counterbalance to the weight of human suffering, Lewis draws upon the doctrine of God's overwhelming love for humanity. The theme of suffering is especially notable in Chapters 6 and 7, which directly deal with the problem of human pain, although it's evident in 3 (Divine Omnipotence), 4 (Human Wickedness), 5 ( The Fall of Man), 8 (Hell), and 9 (Animal Pain) as well. Lewis methodically investigates the nature of earthly suffering, attempting to show it in a different light than one might originally conceive of it. This book is prompted by the following common question: if God is both all-good and all-powerful, why is there suffering in the world? As such, The Problem of Pain does not shy away from the theme of suffering it's even in the title.

Thomas Aquinas, the Summa Theologica is divided into three parts and is designed to instruct both beginners and experts in all matters of Christian Truth.

The First Part of the Summa begins with the existence and nature of God, before moving to creation and the nature of man.The Second Part contains his examination of morality and law it also provides his account of the theological virtues, the cardinal virtues, and the seven deadly sins.
