The non-violent struggle of Father Thaddeus Nguyen Van Ly for religious and political freedom in Vietnam
“In December 2000 Nguyen Van Ly
hangs up the slogan Religious freedom or death
on the tower of the parish church in Nguyet Bieu.
Many criticized him for his political commitment.
But when I look back on it now,
I humbly conclude that Van Ly
has found the solution
for the fundamental question
of the survival of the Vietnamese people.”
