==The Roman Martyrology==
The '''''Martyrologium Romanum''''', or '''Roman Martyrology''' is a catalogue of the sufferings and death of Christians [[martyr]]ed for their faith, from the ancient days of the [[Roman Empire]], beginning with [[Stephen]], up to the present day in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, Oceanea, the Philippines, and in the countries of Latin and South America.
It is interesting to note that the ''Martyrologium Romanum'', the Roman Martyrology, was updated, then authorized and published by the Catholic Church seven years after the first publication of John Foxe's [[Foxe's Book of Martyrs|''Actes and Monuments'']] in 1563, the same year the Council of Trent concluded.
The Roman Martyrology was first published in 1583 by [[Pope Gregory XIII]], who the year before had decreed the revision of the calendar called, after him, the [[Gregorian Calendar]]. A second edition was published the same year. The third edition was made obligatory wherever the Roman Rite was in use. Many Catholics martyred for their faith during the English and Protestant Reformations were included, such as [[Thomas More]] who was beheaded under [[Henry VIII]].
In 1630 [[Pope Urban VIII]] ordered a new edition. In 1748 a revised edition by [[Pope Benedict XIV]] appeared, who personally worked on the corrections: he suppressed some names, such as those of [[Clement of Alexandria]] and [[Sulpicius Severus]], but kept others that some had objected to, such as [[Pope Siricius]]. Since then, the Roman Martyrology has remained essentially unchanged, except for the addition of new saints canonized during the subsequent years.
