Lentorama 2006 Saint of the Day: St. Roderic
A priest in Spain during the rule of the Moors, he was beaten unconscious by his brothers while trying to stop a fight between them. One brother paraded Roderic through the streets of town saying that Roderic wanted to turn to Islam. Roderic denied this, but the same brother later turned him in, saying Roderic was an apostate from Islam. Roderic was thrown in jail, and after a lengthy stay was beheaded.
The next time you have a fight with a sibling, be happy that they can't get you arrested for apostasy. Yet.
