Description: In the twentieth century, more Catholics were persecuted, tortured, and martyred than in any previous century. The willingness to die for one's beliefs is the ultimate test of faith. The willingness to slaughter others for their faith is the ultimate proof of tyranny. Never before have faith and tyranny clashed with the ferocity of the twentieth century. From the atholic martyrs at Auschwitz to Oscar Romer; from Ita Ford and her companions to the recent murders of Christians in India: it is estimated that more than one million believers died for their faith in the "century of progress" we have just experienced.
