in Catholic Church, many, many of whom are martyrs,
beginning with the first few hundred years of Roman Empire.
We all know and have seen in the movies how cruel those Romans were
sitting in the amphitheatre and watching the wild beasts mauling
and killing the Christians.
When it comes down to the question of man's cruelty,
Korean kings and their subordinates certainly seem to be more than equal match to
those Roman emperos and their cronies
These Christians were killed that way only because they believe in God
and His Son, Jesus, not the kings.
The truth of the matter is that they, the martyrs, and the saints are the ones
who keep the churches going strong generation after generation.
They are the real strength and energy for the church and the believers.
