Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The priest's role as the administrator of Wolsey's final sacrament appears first as a feverish flashback in Cromwell's mind (Episode 4) and then as a direct, solemn depiction of the historical event (Episode 6). This parallel underscores the inescapable weight of Wolsey's death on Cromwell's psyche and the enduring presence of Catholic ritual across the series.
