BRIEF HISTORY OF THE CATHOLIC
CHURCH
MISSIONS IN THE 600's
Irish monks carried their
missionary campaign both in the British Isles and continental
Europe. More than 600 monks went to Bavaria. Others
followed St. Boniface to Germany. St. Willibrod went to
Utrecht. Then came the conversion of the Croats and Serbs to
Catholicism.
When some Celtic bishops refused to help St. Augustine in working
among the Saxons, Augustine prophesied: "If ye will not preach
the Way of Life to the English, ye shall suffer the punishment of
death at their hands." And true enough, Aethelfrid massacred a
number of the Celtic monks some ten years later.
