From Father Brendan Curley's inspiring leadership at Salford Cathedral in Manchester on that memorable day in June 1990 to historical events captured in vivid illustrations like caricatures from Le Pelerin magazine or engravings depicting martyrdoms such as The Execution of the Martyrs of Gorkum. Throughout history, they have faced challenges and persecution due to their unwavering devotion. The printed paper titled The Popish Damnable Plot Against Our Religion and Liberties serves as a chilling reminder of past struggles against those who sought to suppress their beliefs.
