St Humphrey Lawrence, Martyr, 1572-1591

St Humphrey died the horrible death meted out, until the XIXth century, to those found guily of treason.

He called Elizabeth I a heretic, which she most certainly was.

We should pray to St Humphrey Lawrence that our clergy will speak out with equal uncompromising clarity on matters of Faith and morals. The only penalty they face is the ridicule of those who already hold them in contempt.

What have they to lose?
