'''Saint Thomas More''' (7 February 1478 – 6 July 1535) was an English [[lawyer]], [[statesman]], and [[martyr]] of the [[Roman Catholic Church]], renowned for his unwavering commitment to conscience and faith. Born in [[London]], More rose to prominence as a scholar, author, and Lord Chancellor under King Henry VIII. His refusal to swear the Oath of Supremacy, which recognized Henry as head of the Church of England, led to his execution for treason. A prolific writer, his *Utopia* remains a cornerstone of political philosophy. Canonized by [[Pope Pius XI]] in 1935, More is venerated as a symbol of integrity and moral courage.<ref name="catholicsaints">{{cite web |title=Saint Thomas More |url=https://catholicsaints.info/saint-thomas-more/ |publisher=CatholicSaints.Info |accessdate=17 May 2025}}</ref>
