Found Via Deacon Greg:Government authorities from a district in the Central Highlands last week compelled ethnic villagers to remove Catholic pictures and items from their chapel and replaced them with images of Ho Chi Minh last weekend.“After local Catholics finished prayers in the chapel on Sunday morning, local government authorities came and asked them to remove a cross and a Marian picture from the chapel,” a Church source said.The source added that authorities from Kon Thuc hamlet, led by two security officials from Mang Yang district in Gia Lai province, threatened that if villagers did not remove the items from the chapel, their lay leader “would be put in prison.”Villagers had to carry the cross, Marian picture, altar and tabernacle to the lay leader’s house, the source said.Authorities then put two pictures of Ho Chi Minh in the places where the cross and Marian picture were.On the following day, authorities dismantled the bell of the chapel after local Catholics refused to do it.
