It's not just crazy Americans seeing Mother Theresa in a cinnamon bun...

...it's crazy Englishmen seeing martyr's faces coming out of - get this - books bound in their skin.

Yes, English priests martyred in the 17th century were subject to indignities you might think the Nazis invented.
The Nazis were anything but novel. Mainly, 20th century evil has been more efficient in its cross-filing than Early Modern, Medieval, or earlier rulers ever pulled off.
