Fantastic book

I could not put this book down. A part of our Catholic history all Catholics should read about. What courage and faith the priests and those who hid them had. As far as I am concerned the age of Elizabeth 1 was an age of cruelty to especially the Catholics. We should pray for those who were martyred. What examples they were. Faithful to the end.
