St. John Fisher (1535) martyred by the Anglicans for not denying the Papacy
Spirituality
When St. Thomas Aquinas chose to become a Dominican (c. 1245) he met with “severe opposition from his family… St. Thomas was literally captured by his brothers and imprisoned in the family castle… The most dramatic episode of his imprisonment, came when his brothers sent a temptress to his quarters. As soon as St. Thomas saw that the girl’s intention was to seduce him, he ran to the fireplace, seized a burning stick and, brandishing it, chased her from the room with it. Then he traced a cross on the wall with the charred wood. When he fell asleep soon afterward, he dreamed that two Angels came and girded him about the waist with a cord, saying: ‘On God’s behalf we gird you with the girdle of chastity, a girdle which no attack will ever destroy.’” (33 Doctors of the Church, p. 367)
Doctrine
When St. John Fisher (1535) “had finished the hymn [ready to be martyred by the Anglicans for not denying the Papacy] he bowed his head beneath the sword of the executioner, gave up his soul to God, and received the crown of justice. His head, fixed on a pike, was exposed to the sight of all on London Bridge, but was afterwards taken away, because it was said that the longer it remained the more ruddy [full of life] and venerable it seemed to grow.” (The Rise and Growth of the Anglican Schism, p. 122)
