Just another case of idolatry supported by Roman Catholicism.
Ping.
Very pretty. I hope it’s a blessing for all, not only the Vietnamese.
This Vietnamese kid was shot by a gang member in a case of mistaken identity, the Vietnamese teen was not a part of any gang. Many prayed for the intercession of Our Lady of La Vang and he did recover. The St. Paul newspaper’s article on his recovery had some saying, it was a miracle.
The large statue of Kwan Am outside the nearby Vietnamese Buddhist temple here reminds me why the idol is known as the Vietnamese Virgin Mary. The resemblance is strong. It’s one of many places where natives became Christian but translated their old gods into Christian saints. Same thing happened in Britain, for one example.
Thanks for posting.
And may the iconoclasts receive the grace of repentance and conversion.
Our Lady of La Vang, pray for them
Christ, have mercy on them.
