Thousands of Catholics celebrate centenary of Lang Son and Cao Bang Diocese
In order to prevent commemorations of the birth of rebel leader Velupillai Prabhakaran, the government has banned all events that directly or indirectly honour the rebels. For some people, "This is a violation of basic human rights."
SOUTH KOREA: Fr Park Chang-shin, a priest from the Diocese of Jeonju and a member of the Catholic Priests' Association for Justice, celebrated a Mass in which he demanded that the government be held accountable for fraud and interference by the secret services in the 2012 elections. Speaking on tensions with the North, he said that it was natural for Pyongyang to attack the island because the South and the US held military exercises near its sea border. Outraged, the government is pressing charges against him. With police around Seoul cathedral, Seoul archbishop notes, "It is not the role of priests to directly intervene in political or social organisations."
VIETNAM: At least 3,500 faithful attended Mass on Nov. 21, presided over by the papal representative Archbishop Girelli. He urges the community to "keep their values alive" and to renew "missionary work." An invitation echoed by the bishop, who invites believers to look to the future "with joy and conviction."
The Vatican speaks of "cordial discussions" and "good bilateral relations." The Russian president brings the greetings of Patriarch Kirill to Francis, but not an invitation to go to Moscow. Father Lombardi: "No one expected there to be one."
The so-called "Geneva II" will be held on January 22. It will seek an end to violence and a transitional government with full powers (without Assad). The opposition still divided on representation. Possible participation of Iran and Saudi Arabia.
