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 ''Actes and Monuments'' in 1576.

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.

The reading of both ''Foxe's Book of Martyrs'' and the ''Roman Martyrology'' together is strongly recommended to the student of Christian history. See [[Ecumenical movement]].
