A gripping storyl And this: That is the very point in question,’ said Father Wright, adding at the same time that all manner of errors and heresies were tolerated in England, and none persecuted but the Catholic religion, which was a sign of its being God’s truth. -- And even now all manner of errors and heresies are tolerated by Rome, and none persecuted but the traditional Catholic faith.
For whatever reason, his burial account reminded me of a very different one, in which a bishop was cast out, forced by anti-liberal notoriety to be buried in private, in a pine box, and in an unmarked grave (while the bishop his brothers preferred was undeservedly laid to rest next to +Lefebvre).
We should all honour these heroes of the Catholic faith by endeavouring to learn of their lives as much as we can and, more importantly, asking for their intercession for the conversion of this land: Our Lady's Dowry.
"For this cause I most willingly sacrifice my life, and would die a thousand times for the same."
The great courage and fidelity of the “Martyrs of the Mass” in the British Isles and elsewhere following the Protestant Revolt is a source of consolation and inspiration to me. Their intercession has brought me innumerable graces.
In a backhanded way I will always be grateful to Bloody Bess and her successor.
