Persecution of the Church Ping!

The Albanian Church triumphed — at a high price. Of 156 priests before the persecution began, 65 were martyred, 64 died during or after imprisonment. Tens of thousands of common people perished for religious reasons. No people passed through a worse trial in the 20th century.

Pope John Paul II has said: “History has never seen before what happened in Albania. Dear Albanians, your drama must interest the whole European continent: Europe must not forget.”

Thanks. Too bad no one learns this stuff in school. I am lucky to have found this website which features such a fine set of articles on the subject.
