AnswerCuthbert Mayne was originally ordained in the Church of England, but converted to Roman Catholicism and secretly became a catholic priest. Disguised as a steward, he became a Catholic missionary in Cornwall. When discovered, he was executed on charges of denying the queen's spiritual supremacy, saying Mass, and possessing a Catholic devotional medallion. The Catholic Church recognises Cuthbert as a martyr. He was canonised in 1970.
