By Robert Hugh Benson
Come Rack, Come Rope, one of Robert Hugh Benson’s best-known novels, is based on true events and individuals in the time of the Elizabethan persecution of Catholics in England. Come Rack, Come Rope centers on Robin and Marjorie, who give up their love for another and hope of marriage in order to minister to their persecuted neighbors. Surrounding Robin and Marjorie are a host of fascinating characters—including the historical figures of Richard Topcliffe, Anthony Babington, and Saint Edmund Campion.
Weaving the historical source material with his own creative additions, Benson presents an unflinching, honest portrayal of the terror of those times along with an achingly beautiful depiction of true faith. Come Rack, Come Rope illustrates Christ’s words from Matthew’s Gospel, “you will be hated by all because of my name, but whoever endures to the end will be saved,” in its stirring movements from doubt to faith, from hatred to love, and from fear to the heroic death of a martyr.
“The passion of the martyrs begins…”

We love to make you smile! 😊
I've purchased several items from you folks. The quality is unbelievable and the service matches that quality. The prices are so much lower than a standard jewelry store and again the quality is way better. They are outstanding as a gift. Thank you all.
Purchased a rosary for my nephew's confirmation. I had some questions along the way and customer service was very receptive and kind... Hard to find such good customer service these days. It was very refreshing and very much appreciated!
I have ordered a few things from Catholic Shop, including medals with engraving and candles. As for the medals and engraving, super job and very well made and dear to my heart. I can not say enough about Catholic Shop, their customer service and guarantee.
