Thousands of Catholics gathered in the streets of Hanoi to show their opposition to the government's refusal to hand over buildings that originally belonged to the Catholic Church of Vietnam. In protests today, some 2,000 Catholics marched from St. Joseph's Cathedral to the building that was once the Vatican embassy.
The building, which is now a youth sports center, is one of many church properties taken over by the Communist government in 1954. Church officials say they have documents showing the 2.5-acre property belongs to the diocese.
