They're well aware of what happened in Poland and Eastern Europe and must be looking at this with some concern. May they have many sleepless nights and plenty distress. It's time for the Church to do what bombs and bullets couldn't.
Godspeed.
The Vietnamese government is somewhat tolerant of Catholics. It’s the Protesants that they really give a hard time to.
**Catholic activists announced that every year, as long as the land has not been returned to them, they will light up the park with a candlelight vigil on the feast of the Assumption to commemorate the historic event, and to remind their children and all people of conscience the injustice that they are still facing.**
May God bless all these Catholics in Vietnam.
I’ve been to Vietnam a number of times over the last 5 years (the south anyway). Am amazed by the number of churches (open 24 hours and usually a center of public life in the evening) and Mariology there.
Catholics there have suffered through 25 years of war and then another 25 of persecution. I believe because of that, they are now being graced with greater faith and future blessings beyond what we will have in the West
