A Daily Tiananmen Massacre
China
44 years old Mrs Chai Ling, the only woman leader of the1989 Tiannamen Square protests, was baptized on April 4 in a Protestant ceremony. She said that her conversion was prompted by a loss of confidence in political solutions and anguish over the violence in today's China-- especially the violence of forced abortion, which she characterized as "a daily Tiananmen massacre, a hundred times over and done in broad daylight."
The Priest Brings a Person in Contact With God
Vatican
In Yesterday's general audience in St. Peter's Square, the Pope focused his remarks on the priest's mission to sanctify humankind. "Sanctifying a person means putting that person in contact with God", said the Pope. He noticed how "an essential part of a priest's grace is his gift, his task to establish such contact.”
Remembering The Priests Who Died During World War II
Poland
Five thousand Polish priests and seminarians, led by Cardinal Claudio Hummes and Archbishop Stanislaw Dziwisz of Krakow, gathered at the Shrine of Jasna Góra in Czestochowa on April 30 and May 1. They recalled the heroic example of the 3,000 Polish priests who were slain during World War II. A book containing the names of the priests was presented to Our Lady of Czestochowa. Following a procession with the relics of St. John Vianney, the prefect of the Congregation for the Clergy urged the priests to recommit themselves to evangelization. “You must go to families, to work places, to schools, to university environments, you must seek out those who have no faith,” said Cardinal Hummes at the concluding Mass.

A poll conducted by CBS News and The New York Times that has a history of bashing Catholics has found that 77% of the practicing Catholics say that “the Vatican’s handling of recent child sex abuse reports” has had no effect on how they “feel about the Catholic Church.” An additional 12% of practicing Catholics say that they have even a more positive feeling about the Church as a result of the Vatican’s handling of the scandals. The survey of 1,079 adults was conducted between April 28 and May 2.
