I I+' 5 smermnoclc St. fofzn giallefz By ARTHUR WALIGORE Unus duorum -St. John Fisher deserves the distinction of being one of two among prominent Catholics who refused to bow to Henry VIIl's edict of Supremacy. The son of a merchant, he was born in Beverley, York- shire, England in 1459. After an elementary education in a parochial school, Cambridge graduated him with a B. A. in 1487. His M. A. followed in 1497. Soon after his ordination, his connection with the royal family began. To Margaret, the mother of Henry VIII he was confessor and counselor. But a zeal for learning was a consuming ambition. Acting in the capacity of Chan- cellor of Cambridge, he was instrumental in founding St. John's and Christ's College, Cambridge. In recognition of his personal piety and zeal, in 1504 he was raised to the Bishopric of Rochester. That same year also saw him Chancellor-elect of Cambridge. lt was he who encouraged Erasmus to establish classical studies at Cambridge. To Henry Vlll, with whom he had had so many wrangles, he was tutor. During the nefarious affairs of Henry in ridding himself of his lawful wife, Bishop Fisher devoted his great talents of oratory and writing to open criticism of the King's action. Because of Fisher's refusal to uphold the King's divorce, he incurred the enmity of Henry. After Cranmer as new Arch- bishop-elect had declared the divorce valid, a series of encroachments on Church property followed. When a poison attempt on the life of Fisher had failed in 1531, Henry, because of the influence Fisher had l1ad, confined Fisher to the Tower and confiscated his property when he refused to take the oath of supremacy. Even the high dignity of Fisher's office did not save him from Henry's wrath. Indeed, the Bishop was tried as a commoner on charges of treason. The court punishment was death by hanging, however, the sentence was altered. ln 1534 he was decapitated and his head displayed to the public on London Bridge. As he lived, so he died, courageously and calmly, ex- emplifying to the very end the attributes of the true martyr.
