Saturnino Lohure - A Hero for South Sudan.
(2012) “A Hero for South Sudan” – 12’47”
Father Saturnino Lohure, a native of the Torit area in what is now South Sudan, was born in 1921 into the Lotuko tribe and baptised at age ten by the Comboni missionaries. He was subsequently ordained in 1946. In learning about slavery and the slave trade he saw parallels in the way the south was governed. Jurisdiction over Torit and the South was in the hands of Arab leaders in Khartoum who neglected the needs of Southerners, looking down upon them with prejudice.
Father Saturnino made it his life’s mission to protect and secure the religious and civil freedoms of his people. When the Sudan gained independence from Britain and Egypt in 1956, with permission from the Holy See, he represented Torit in the Khartoum parliament. The debate over a federal system for the South fell apart when the parliament was disbanded by the military. Father Saturnino subsequently went into exile where he became one of the …More

Angola: Paulino, the Catechist.
Paulino Vitete has been held at gun-point, lost his leg in a missile attack and travelled thousands of miles across dirt roads on a motorbike. “For me my faith in God equates living life to the full. The aim of my life is to see other people recognise Jesus as their Saviour.” Out of Paulino’s mouth, these words carry weight. He is a catechist in Eastern Angola.

Excellent presentation.
I read description of the Burmese Catholic Church the history of which is as old as the first European nation came to Asia - the Portuguese. These communities are a few hundred years old, and have not had the benefit of being ministered by Priests and Bishops for years. The situation is similar to the Korean, Chinese and Japanese Catholics who carried on the faith in spite of the lack of Priests in some instances for several hundreds of years.
The Asian countries produced countless martyrs for the Cross bravely gone to their deaths refusing to deny Our Lord and Our Lady in the face of extreme persecutions.
As a Thai I understand them, and my heart goes out to them.

Little Rwanda became an arena of slaughter, where the more numerous Hutu tribes murdered nearly a million Tutsi's and moderate Hutus. Neighbours, friends, members of the same family, became enemies overnight - within a hundred days eight hundred thousand people lost their lives, whiles many more millions were forced to flee and to hide. Even the habit proved no defence against persecution, despite up to sixty percent of Rwanda's population being Catholic. Novices from the Convent of the Good Shepherd, engaged in helping the needy in the vicinity of the capital Kigali, were to find that the war did not spare them.

Monsignor Vladimir Ghika (Monsignor Vladimir Ghika)
I thought I would upload a painting of Msgr Vladimir Ghika
to honour this noble man who died for his faith and church.
He worked with princes and prostitutes and exemplified the
civility, dignity and nobility of a true ambassador of Christ.
Msgr Ghika is little known in the West but I'm sure that this
noble soul will be beatified when his story is better known.

Truly a wonderful priest to have endured all that the Communist Government of Romania had made him endure. Surely his reward will be great in heaven. And he is an example to us for when we will have to endure that in what was once known as the Free World.

This film offers a rare glimpse of the persecution suffered by
Romanian Christians (Greek Catholic) under the Communists.
The film commences / finishes with an interesting interview
of the current Bishop of Cluj-Ghera, Florentin Crihălmeanu.
What is most moving about this video is the middle segment
where Pr Tertulian Langa speaks of his lengthy incarceration.
There is always the question that when persecution comes
into our lives, will we as Christians become bitter or better?

Copyright: CRTN The state of Macedonia, into existence with the dismantling of Yugoslavia, is still precarious: burdened with the relics of socialism and a weak economy, the state suffers a low standard of living and high unemployment. The Macedonian Catholic Church, once again free, is flourishing. Although the fruits are abundant, the trials facing the Church have not yet been laid to rest. A new challenge has arisen, arguably subtler and of greater threat than that experienced under communism: Where faith was once brutally oppressed, today young Macedonians willingly abandon their faith drawn to the allure of materialism. Host Mark Riedemann interviews journalist and Balkan expert Ivan Cigic about the state of Macedonia and the fledgling Church there.
