On this date, May 4th at Tyburn, in 1535, John Houghton, a Carmelite was hung, drawn and quartered. He is regarded as the protomartyr of the British saints who would suffer for the Faith. The last of the 40 English and Welsh Martyrs would die in 1679 - showing the length of the persecution. St. John Houghton, pray for us.

We believe in a good argument. That means NO ad hominem attacks. This also includes Pope Francis. Further, referring to him by any other name, may or may not indicate a schismatic attitude, and given the confusion in the Church your comment will NOT be published. Comments are those of the commentators and not those of this blog. You may use a pseudonym... we do... Behave like a guest in our living room and you will be fine.
