Sister of heroic Vietnamese Cardinal imprisoned by Communists tells his story

Aug 6, 2025

Elisabeth Nguyen Thi Thu Hong joins the podcast to tell the
inspiring story of her older brother, Venerable Francis-Xavier
Nguyen Van Thuan, the heroic Vietnamese Cardinal who was imprisoned
by the Communists for 13 years, 8 of those in solitary confinement.
Thuan was descended from a line of Vietnamese martyrs, and his
uncle was the devout Catholic President and Prime Minister of
Vietnam, Ngo Dinh Diem, who himself was something of a martyr.
