A diocese in Vietnam has strongly protested against government authorities for breaking up a Mass held in a house.

In an official letter to Kon Tum provincial and Ngoc Hoi district officials in Vietnam’s Central Highlands, Kontum diocese strongly condemned what it called the “heinous offense against the sanctity of the Mass.”
