Synopsis

Excerpt from Lives of the English Martyrs, Vol. 2: Declared Blessed by Pope Leo XIII. In 1886 and 1895 Though the Lives of the martyrs which will be found in the ensuing pages are told with a fulness not attempted hitherto, none of them illustrate the whole period of the struggle. None of them, therefore, explain with sufficient clearness the origin, nature, and tendency of the quarrel in which the martyrs lost their lives. A few words of introduction will therefore be required to elucidate these points, and others of a like nature. Why, for instance, in a religious persecution were the victims indicted for treason? Why were such absurd charges preferred against the martyrs, and why were they believed and brought forward again and again? Before we can appreciate the heroism of the martyrs deaths, we must find a solution of these problems. Section I. Elizabeth's Settlement of Religion. In the previous volume it was shown that the Wars of the Roses and other causes had led to a very great increase in the power of the Crown at the cost of the other estates of the realm.

She had undoubtedly deserved the censures of the lIoly See by her tyranny and persecution, and above all because she had forced her realm into heresy and had rcfused all communication with the Supreme Pastor. Evidence was given against her by Coldwell, Bishop of St. lsaph, ,1 aurice Clenock, Bishop-Elect of Bangor, Dr.: icholas ~Iorton, pre~ bendary of York, and a nUII1 vcr of ot her ecclesiastics, and at length sentence of excommunication and deposition 'as pronounced against her by the holy Pontiff St. Pius V., and published in a Bull dated the 25th of February, 1569-70. Elizabeth and her ministers affected indifference to the Pope's sentencc.
