St. Edmund Campion

English Jesuit priest and martyr, canonized in 1970. One of the bravest missionaries of the Elizabethan era, he secretly returned to Protestant England knowing capture meant death. He wrote the famous 'Campion's Brag' — an open challenge to the authorities. Captured in 1581, tortured on the Tower rack, and executed by hanging, drawing and quartering. Several prophecies about the conversion of England and a 'great examination' of conscience are attributed to him in Catholic prophetic compilations, though their exact provenance is debated by historians.
