“I think you meant the B.S. pen.”
No, I wasn’t even getting to the papal conclaves, but since you bring it up......I present into evidence “Foxes Book of Martyrs”
Foxe’s Book of Martyrs is a work of Protestant history and martyrology by John Foxe, first published in 1563. It includes a polemical account of the sufferings of Protestants under the Catholic Church, with particular emphasis on England and Scotland. The book was highly influential in those countries and helped shape lasting popular notions of Catholicism there.0 Foxe’s account of these martyrdoms contributed significantly to a nationalistic repudiation of the Roman Catholic Church and asserted a historical justification intended to establish the Church of England as a continuation of the true Christian church rather than a modern innovation. The book chronicles the suffering and brutal deaths of those who have sacrificed their lives for the sake of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, capturing the God-given, Spirit-inspired courage of these noble souls. Foxe’s original work ended with the martyrs of his own day, those who were killed during the reign of “Bloody Mary.” The book has been an invaluable addition to the libraries of faithful Christians for almost five centuries, chronicling the suffering and brutal deaths of those who have sacrificed their lives for the sake of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Not a credible book.
