Catholicism, the religion of the Pope, is the historical faith of these islands

Hmmm, I thought that was Celtic paganism until the Roman conquest brought Christianity.

And the Celtic pagans left so much to posterity—where would western civilization be without stone circles?

Hmmm, I think someone doesn’t know the difference between history and prehistory.

St. John Fisher, a bishop and St. Thomas More, the Lord Chancellor, both Catholics, had their heads cut off because they would not swear an oath to the King of England but instead put God first.
