St. John Fisher And The Courage To Refuse

About this episode

Send us Fan Mail

We tell the story of St. John Fisher, the bishop who refuses to place the Crown above Christ when England’s politics demand compromise. His life of prayer, scholarship, and Eucharistic devotion shows how conscience holds firm when the cost becomes personal. 
• his early life in Yorkshire and a call shaped by prayer and study 
• Cambridge as a battleground for souls where intellect serves holiness 
• priestly zeal and a Eucharist-centered ministry 
• humble leadership as Bishop of Rochester marked by service and reform 
• clear defenses of Catholic teaching amid rising heresies 
• unwavering support for Catherine of Aragon and the sacrament of marriage 
• the King’s Great Matter as a moment of national and personal conscience 
• refusal of the oath of supremacy and the price of fidelity 
• isolation in the Tower of London and strength drawn from Christ
