Answer 3

”The Catholic nobility and gentry, and the inhabitants of the cities and towns, are deprived of their lands and goods, and partly banished to foreign countries- partly driven to the remote and uncultivated parts of the kingdom; some, too, were sold as slaves to the American islands, and some were privately butchered...Thus, all the Catholics are in exile, and in their stead, in the cities and castles, and towns, and garrisons, none are to be found but parliamentarian heretics, for the most part of the lowest class of artisans, and the scum and outcasts of society. Hence, the ecclesiastics have nowhere a resting-place, and they are forced to fly to the herds of cattle, or to seek a refuge in the barns, or stables, or desert places; sometimes they seek to conceal themselves by paying for their lodging in the houses of the heretics. As regards the fathers of the society, some dwell in ruined edifices, others sleep by night in the porticoes of the temples, lest they should occasion any danger to the Catholics.“



”The heretics being now masters of the kingdom, the clergy is scattered and destroyed, and the Catholic religion is almost extinct. The nobility, and gentry, and native citizens are despoiled of their goods and properties, and in their place foreign heretics have been imported, the vilest of men, persecutors and capital enemies of the Catholic religion; so that Ireland no longer seems to be Ireland, and there are no longer any persons there to harbour the clergy and religious, but only to pursue them, and lead them to imprisonment, torture, and the scaffold. Such is the sad condition of Ireland under the most cruel tyrant, Oliver Cromwell, the Nero, Domitian, and Julian of our age...Hence, Ireland is in a far worse condition now than it was one hundred years ago, for it is inundated with foreign enemies and heretical persecutors; it is an uncultivated field, overrun with briars- an immense and frightful wilderness- a new and unexplored land, to be once more cultivated and reclaimed.“

Answer 4

England.  During the reigns of Elizabeth I and James I.  Every priest caught offering the sacraments was hung, draw, and quartered.  Every Catholic caught going to Mass was put in the stocks or a prison cell.  Henry VIII had the dissolution of the monasteries which sparked the pilgrimage of Grace, a rebellion led by Robert Aske with up to 50,000 men ready to march on London and overthrow Henry VIII.  Later on the persecution spread to Scotland and Ireland.
