In condemning us, you condemn all your own ancestors, all our ancient bishops and kings, all that was once the glory of England — the island of saints, and the most devoted child of the See of Peter.
Saint Edmund Campion
Saint of the Day Quote: Saint Edmund Campion
Donald R. McClarey
Cradle Catholic. Active in the pro-life movement since 1973. Father of three, one in Heaven, and happily married for 41 years. Small town lawyer and amateur historian. Former president of the board of directors of the local crisis pregnancy center for a decade.
True words. Henry VIII is considered to be the worst king of England. With the Dissolution of the Monasteries much of English Christian heritage was lost. There were many uprisings and resulting my massacres by those who wanted the old religion of Catholicism. Spendthrift, warmonger, Henry was responsible for executing 70,000 of his subjects.
“The king’s good servant, but God’s first” St. Thomas More
Saint Edmund Campion eloquently condemned all of Protestantism with his quote. England was Catholic for more than one thousand years, and all it took was two tyrants, Henry Tudor and his evil daughter by Anne Boleyn.
