I don't know how to fix "He was imprisoned in York for the Catholic religion," but it is strangely worded, and the context makes it sound like imprisonment was part of his academic career. Jkelly 20:59, 18 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for pointing that out. I agree it's a bit clumsy. I've changed it to "He was imprisoned in York as a Catholic recusant". I'm not sure how well-known the word "recusant" would be outside the UK, but I think it's more elegant and is accurate, and I've wikilinked it to the definition. If you're not happy, do feel free to speak up again. ElinorD (talk) 22:55, 18 June 2007 (UTC)Reply
