Hi there. Not wanting to start a war over this. This stub is very vague and I was attempting to add some clarity to it. Because it now reads: ""martyred"" and ""mostly Roman Catholics and Chinese"" and it is not a neutral point of view. ""...other churches recognized their own martyrs"" implies that the others who were killed for their faith were not part of ""THE Chines Martyrs"". The fact that they are accepted as ""martyrs"" by the Roman church does not make them ""martyrs"" in the Orthodox or even the Protestant sense. So, since the meager content of this stub is mostly about the Roman Catholic individuals who were cannonized, it is appropriate to divide things and qualify things as I had done. There are undoubtably many who will oppose the term ""Martyrs"" itself in the title because of the modern cultural connotations that it carries like ""Martyrs of Sept. 11 (hijackers)...But it does work if this article is limited to the Papal decree that popularized a phrase - if that is what it is.
