***the Guildhall hosted the trial of Margaret Clitherow, a Catholic martyr who was pressed to death in 1586***


The story of Margaret Clitherow is chillingly sobering. Here is the description of being 'pressed to death'

She was stripped and had a handkerchief tied across her face then laid across a sharp rock the size of a man's fist, the door from her own house was put on top of her and loaded with an immense weight of rocks and stones so that the sharp rock would break her back. Her death occurred within fifteen minutes, but her body was left for six hours before the weight was removed.
Wait until the Democrats discover this method of punishment... Yikes!

Meanwhile the courts are allowing Democrat Dictator Governors to write the First Amendment out of our Constitution.

Clitherow sounds like a woman who would have held Mass in her house despite the orders. What would a Murphy or Cuomo or Newsom do to her today?
