		Ss. John Fisher & Thomas More St. John Fisher, cardinal of the Roman Church and bishop of Rochester, was executed on this day in 1535 for refusing to adhere to the English schism by acknowledging the king as head of the Church in England. He is commemorated today by the Roman Church, along with St. Thomas More, sometime Lord Chancellor, who was executed for the same reason on July 6th that same year. They were among the earliest and most prominent of a host of martyrs in the British Isles who refused to betray the Christian faith during the Reformation in England.
