Pakse
(kath.net/CWN/jg)
Louis-Marie Ling Mangkhanekhoun, apostolic vicar of Pakse (Laos) and one of the cardinals who were created on 28 June, spent three years in prison during his communist regime.
His "offense" was to proclaim the gospel in villages and prisons without permission from the government. In 1984 the then 40-year-old was arrested and accused of "propaganda for Jesus".
He was in prison three years with chains on my arms and legs, he recalls. The time was essential for his inner formation. It was necessary for the "conversion and purification" of his person and also for others, he says retrospectively.

Stop whining... The Catholic Church murdered William Tyndale and desecrated his remains. But, hey... What's a little hate among friends, right?

Your crudeness is something out of Caligula. You need to stop sleeping in the bottom bunk. At the very least, duck your head when you get up in the morning.

DeleteTyndale worked to destroy the Catholic faith with bad translations of Scripture (he was a mediocre Hellenist at best). What do you expect?
DeleteBTW, the Church of England after the break with Rome condemned Tyndale and his bible as well.
^^^^^ meant to say feeding.
