Yes, to those who will argue a position, there is a BIG difference.

Arguing a position? More like (no pun intended), if you are going to teach history, you should at least try to do it with facts? If I told someone that TM was beheaded just due to the divorce of Catherine of Aragon and marriage to Ann Boleyn. I would be leaving out the real reasons which lead up to his death. TM had written to the king acknowledging Anne Boleyn's queenship and expressing his desire for the King's happiness and the new queen's health. But when More didn't attend the coronation of the queen it was looked upon as an insult. Yet, we cannot look at the divorce of Catherine of Aragon as being More's main issue.
