As they always have and always will. No amount of ostpolitik, detente, appeasement or whatever you want to call it will ever change that.
Communist officials compelled Catholics in a south-central Vietnamese village to remove the altar, tabernacle, cross, and Marian image from a Catholic chapel. The objects were taken to a lay Catholic leader’s home.
Stating that the chapel would henceforth be used “for village activities, not for worship,” officials placed a portrait of Communist revolutionary Ho Chi Minh (1890-1969) where the cross had been located.
St. John Damascene, St. Theophane Venard, and Servant of God Marcel Van, please pray for these people.
