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.”
“Their actions are deeply distressing and hurting our brothers and sisters from the subparish, as well as all priests and laypeople in the diocese and other places,” Father Peter Le Van Hung, head of the Office of the Kontum Bishop’s House, said in a statement on March 27.
