Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the persecution of Catholics in Great Britain and Ireland, Central and Southern America, Abyssinia, and the Corea from the mid-16th century until the present. The author seeks to understand the causes of the persecution and the devastating effects it has had on the Catholic Church and its followers, as well as offering examples of the heroic suffering of martyrs who refused to abandon their faith. Of particular interest is the examination of several modern conflicts, including the suppression of the Jesuits in Germany and the current persecution of religious minorities in China. The author argues that these events should not only be remembered for the horrors inflicted upon the victims, but also be celebrated for the indomitable spirit of those who refused to renounce their faith, bearing witness to the power of the human spirit to persevere in the face of adversity.
