ChurchPop: This story reminds me of the threat the Communists made to Cardinal Kung prior to his arrest and imprisonment. They warned him that if any miracles happened at the tomb of Father Beda Chang whom they had tortured to death in prison that he, Bishop Ignatius Kung, would be held responsible. Miracles not allowed!!!
A priest who witnessed to a miracle in communist Czechoslovakia in the 1940s was tortured and beaten to death for refusing to recant what his parishioners had seen. And now Catholics from the country are honoring his heroic virtue and pushing for him to be recognized as a martyr. Full account is here.
