Re: Response Letter to the People’s Committee of Quang Binh
Xa Doai, July 24, 2009
To: The People’s Committee of Quang Binh
The Bishopric of Vinh Diocese has just received your letter No. 1630/UBND-NC, dated July 24, 2009 summoning us to a meeting on “the situation of Catholic activities on the area”.
We would like to response that:
While our Cross – a great holy symbol of our faith is still being profaned by the police of Quang Binh, and while our faithful are still being jailed unjustly, we cannot come to talk with the Provincial Committee.
Once our demands are satisfied, we would be willing to come for a meeting with your Committee.
On behalf of the Bishopric of Vinh Diocese
