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'' (Foxe's Book of Martyrs)]] in 1563, the same year the Council of Trent concluded.
It is interesting to note that the ''Martyrologium Romanum'', the Roman Martyrology, was updated, then authorized and published by the Catholic Church twenty years after the 1563 first publication of John Foxe's [[Foxe's Book of Martyrs|''Actes and Monuments'' (Foxe's Book of Martyrs)]], 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]].
