The great majority of Catholices executed by Elizabath were for "treason," even though most, like the Jesuit Edmund Campion, were really killed for their faith.

Only in the sense that the al-Qa'ida supporters of Osama Bin Laden are "killed for their faith".

They were jihadists following the order of Pius V to overthrow and kill Elizabet.

LMAO!!! Elizabeth instituted “Penal Laws” in support of her puritan brother King Henry VIII. The only reason they started slaughtering Catholics was because Henry Wanted A son and wasn’t getting one through his first wife and he was denied a divorce by Rome.

He then excommunicated himself and waged war upon everything Catholic. The Catholics were being slaughtered right and left. Elizabeth killed way more than Henry and Henry alone killed 983 for none state reasons aka; For Being Catholic.
