ROMAN CATHOLICS KILLED BY PROTESTANTS
In no case are all listed represented as "official" martyrs of the Roman
Catholic Church, but ALL were killed by Protestants, or proto-Protestants,
because of their Roman Catholic beliefs. (nb: this does NOT include the
casualties incurred by the French Revolution, nor from Japan, China, the
Phillippines, the Nazi occupation of Europe, and so forth. It is ONLY those
killings performed by Protestants or proto-Protestants (Albegensians, Cathars,
Waldenses, &c.)

******************************************
Due to its seeming popularity as a method of execution in England,
perhaps an explanation of "hanged, drawn and quartered" is in order:
The victim was hanged, by being pushed off a ladder for about a two
foot drop (this would not, ordinarily, break the neck) to hang there, slowly
strangling.
Before death, however, the executioner would cut the victim down, and
then open the body and "draw out" the intestines, stomach, etc while the victim
was sill living, usually making sure the victim could enjoy the process.
The limbs and head were then cut off.
This was the customary punishment for treason, and was invented for
the benefit of the Scots patriot, William Wallace, who was the first to
recieve it. In many of the cases listed above, "treason" constituted the
refusal to accept the King/Queen of England as Head of the Church.
It is my intention to also compile a listing of Protestants killed by
Catholics, and a listing of "witches" burned by both. Contributions to all
these lists are solicited. The rules are:
1) You must have the NAME of the person killed. If all that is known
is HOW MANY were killed, this will be acceptable.
2) You must have a DATE. Day-month-year is preferred, but month-year
or year-only is acceptable.
3) You must have a LOCATION. Town-nation is best, but nation-only is
acceptable
3) You must REFERENCE your contribution.
4) Please follow the format as you see it above.
nb: I am not, at this time, compiling a list of Jews killed for their faith.
To list the six million names from the Holocaust of World War II alone
would be too much, and beyond comprehension. They are NOT forgotten!
Neither are the martyred Baha'is in Iran, nor the Muslim/Christian/Jew
problems current in the Mid-East.....nor the Muslim/Hindu troubles, nor
the........well, add your own here.
