A 1969 letter from a Papal envoy to Vladika Danilo of Montenegro and the Littoral, with an offer of rewards for the removal of Njegoš's chapel and remains and replacing them with a big mausoleum which would house the remains of a Montenegrin woman (who would be canonised).
Today in Labor History January 31, 1606: Guy Fawkes jumped to his death moments before his execution for treason. Guy Fawkes belonged to a group of provincial English Catholics who planned the failed Gunpowder Plot of 1605. Fawkes, who had converted to Catholicism, also fought in the 80-Years War for Catholic Spain against the Dutch. He later traveled to Spain seeking support for a Catholic rebellion in England. The English tortured him into confessing the names of his co-conspirators. Brits have celebrated Guy Fawkes Day ever since, usually accompanied by fireworks and burning effigies, traditionally the pope, but recently they’ve burned effigies of Liz Truss, Rishi Sunak and Margaret Thatcher, instead. James Sharpe, professor of history at the University of York, called Fawkes "the last man to enter Parliament with honest intentions." Numerous historical novels and children’s books have been written about Fawkes, including William Harrison Ainsworth's 1841 historical romance “Guy Fawkes; or, The Gunpowder Treason.”

I'm trying to follow all the updates about the Pope's visit to Mongolia. (A country with less than 2,000 Catholics).
This photo really captured me and I'm not sure why.
