| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Francis and Peter Kenrick |
| | Francis Patrick was sent by his uncle to a good classical school, and at the age of eighteen was selected as one of those who were to go to Rome to study for the priesthood. | | | When Bishop Kenrick went to Philadelphia in 1830 there were only four churches in the city and one in the suburbs, and ten priests, when he left at in 1857, the diocese contained 94 churches and many religious institutions, and was the home of 101 priests and 46 seminarians, besides numerous religious orders. | | | He ordered the doors of all the churches to be closed and cessation of Divine worship as a protest against the supineness of the authorities, the clergy went about in ordinary civil attire, and the sacred vessels and vestments were taken from the churches to places of security with private families. |

| | Francis Atterbury - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Atterbury's treatise, though highly praised by Bishop Gilbert Burnet, was more distinguished for the vigour of his rhetoric than the soundness of his arguments, and the Papists accused him of treason, and of having, by implication, called King James "Judas". | | | He was invited to Rome by the Pretender, but Atterbury felt that a bishop of the Church of England would be out of place in Rome, and declined the invitation. | | | In the House of Lords his oratory, of old, pointed, lively and set off with every grace of pronunciation and of gesture, extorted the attention and admiration even of a hostile majority. |

| | Francis Makemie Religious Freedom |
| | Francis Makemie is not only the organizer of American Presbyterianism as we know it, he is also one of the Fathers of what became a cornerstone of the Constitution - religious liberty. | | | Although he lived and labored on the Eastern Shore, Francis Makemie proved to be more of a national than a local figure in religion. | | | Francis Makemie traveled to Williamsburg in the spring of 1699 and the reason relates to the Toleration Act which was passed in England about ten years before that - in the first year of William and Mary’s reign. |

| | open book: Sullivan's Travels |
| | Sullivan's stated reason for leaving the Catholic Church is that he cannot continue as a Catholic because 1) the Church holds to a teaching that certain actions of his are sinful; and 2) he is unwilling to repent, if necessary again and again, for these actions. | | | Sullivan cannot accept them, and prefers his identity as a gay person over his identity in Christ, then he is right to state that he cannot be a Catholic. | | | Sullivan and others who make a similar argument, one might think that the Church suddenly decided to teach that homosexual activity was wrong sometime in the last 25 years. |
