About this listen

 Dive into the riveting era of the sixteenth century when English Catholics faced severe persecution for their faith. This podcast tells the stories of the brave martyrs, both lay and cleric, who defiantly proclaimed, Come rack! Come rope! in the face of adversity. Hear about the Carthusians, Houghton, Lawrence, Webster; the Jesuits, Campion, Sherwin, Southwell; and the secular priests, Hart, Lacey, Ingleby. Learn about the countess of Salisbury, mother of Cardinal Pole; the Chancellor of England Blessed Thomas More, Philip Earl of Arundel, and Margaret Clitherow, a safe harbor for priests. Their stories are brought to life through records of the time, offering a captivating and powerful lesson in faith and courage.
