Another method of exterminating Protestants was open impunity of all aggression against them. To the Jesuits every act of persecution and depravity committed against a Protestant was proof of piety. In 1611 a young Italian named Franco, who proclaimed that the Catholic Eucharist was nothing but idolatry, was condemned to death in Wilno and hastily executed in the courtyard of the castle. In Bielsk which belonged to the Queen Constantia, Archduchess of Austria, John Tyszkiewicz, a Socinian was executed on November 16, 1611, by her order for refusing to swear in the name of the Trinity. These examples clearly illustrate the power exerted by the clergy and breakdown of the moral sensitivities of Poles.


I wonder why there are no records of the statements made by Stanislaus Hosius the First Conservative mentioned, you don't think their could be any foul play do you?

Check this web site out, there is plenty more.

And Edmund Campion, a Jesuit, was drawn and quartered for treason against Elizabeth I of England. He was among 300 Catholics. executed by the Queen's Secret service. Do you know that according to Blackstone, any Catholic priest who in 1760. publicly said mass was subject to life imprisionment?
