Good. Let’s pray they don’t support pinching off more islamic filth and charities that promote illegals of evil.

...it was French Jesuits in the following century who had the first significant success in winning converts and establishing a Church presence.

Isn't "winning converts" the sin of "proselytism", per the Francis?

Devout people, I can’t help but relate,

This is about 8 years ago, a Vietnamese teen got shot in a case of mistaken identity in a case of Gang Violence, (not cops). Well, everyone prayed for him and he did recover. I know little more than that. I’ve been to a Vietnamese Mass back in the “good old days”, no, I won’t make an abbrev. of that one.

I wonder what the US rank is. I bet it’s moving up.

In one case, the government organized a fake Catholic organization to influence the Church from within.

Here's a Wikileaks email chain about libtards scheming a "Catholic Spring" in America:

We created Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good to organize for a moment like this.

Though Portuguese Catholic missionaries came to Vietnam in the early 1500s, it was French Jesuits in the following century who had the first significant success in winning converts and establishing a Church presence.

Coincidentally, today Vietnam, Laos, and Eastern Thailand are home to many curvy light skinned Asian women. An extreme example:

The Diems, overthrown by Kennedy in the early 60's, were a Catholic family.

I’ve travelled to Vietnam many times for work - mainly in the south

one sees a lot of Churches in the South. I stayed in hotel next to a Catholic Church last year at the start of Advent. I was awakened at 5 AM by about 1000 arriving people on their typical motorbikes and scooters, and a brass band playing at a special mass they were holding. It was so well-attended, the church had folding chairs outside for the overflow crowd.
