"Some occured, of course, during the Protestant revolt, but that is nothing compared to the reality of the past 100 years."

I've noticed that very little is ever said of the persecution of Catholics in England during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I and Oliver Cromwell, when it was a capital offense to be a priest, and torture was common.

She should have gotten the title "bloody" instead of Mary Queen of Scots.
