Excuse me, goodly people of the future, but does anyone know who decided I should be the patron santa of HEADACHE SUFFERS. I understand that I did myself endure the trials of long-term illness, but HEADACHE SUFFERS? Why? Oh, what did I do wrong, dear Lord!
They couldn't conceive the notion that I may want to be the patron santa of meditation, or discalceation. No... Headaches are my symbol among posterity. Not the seventeen convents I founded, nor my reform of the sacred doctrines in the Spanish Church.
Oh, why did they even canonize me?

Or worse, attempting to understand Him, and interpret his word as lawyers do over human testaments... but I digress.

Your Majesty.

I suppose our respective nations are on bad terms, are they not? But no matter, we are all God's children.
I myself have rejected the pompous side of the Catholic church. If one seeks God, one must live a spiritual life apart from the distractions and the bad company of the secular world. I endured great criticism from the Church at large for my ideas. Sacred lessons that were taught to me through VISIONS OF CHRIST HIMSELF! I was so distraught thinking these cynics correct that I subjected myself to repeated tortures.
It was only through great hardship did I at last experience spiritual ecstasy. Prayer and meditation were my allies not pomp and ceremony.
I am not a great woman nor a terribly strong one. But I have taken it upon myself to suffer for the Lord. If I cannot suffer, I may as well die.
Errmm...
*rubs temple*
That noise in my head has returned once more. I must go pray. Please, excuse me, Your Majesty.

Well, you are polite for a heretic, I suppose. And your devotion to God and not to ceremony is admirable. It seems the Catholics of my day could have learned a lesson from you.
*grumbles to the general room, forgetting that she doesn't have dozens of courtiers to complain to at the moment*
And worse than that is the distribution of power! The pope becomes like a second king. Who, then, should the people be loyal to? The man who claims to own the secret of salvation, or one who truly cares for them, and will lead both their country and their souls to glory?
Thank the Lord England has been saved. Political and religious power in me.
*Satisfied, she smiles and nods, then looks from side to side for corroboration from her courtiers. Alas, none are present.*
Hmph. Honestly, why couldn't Kate have been resurrected, too?

. . . I'm sorry, could this wait? I'm sure you're all lovely people, but I have battle strategies that need work.
