Joseph Stalin or Xi Jinping: both the same to Catholics

Thursday, January 20, 2022

But the faith was illegal for nearly 300 years under the Roman Empire, and knows how to live through persecution. Indeed, the blood of the martyrs has been recognized as the seed of new Christian witness since those early centuries.
