Procession of Priests in SàiGòn, Việt Nam

SàiGòn, Việt Nam- Vietnamese Dominican friars sing & process into an overflowing Catholic church at the beginning of an Ordination Mass. The Order of Preachers has been present in Vietnam since 1676 and continue to maintain a strong presence, particularly in southern Vietnam since the mass exodus of Christians from the north in 1954. They remain persecuted but thriving.
Notice the attendance is so high that many are left sitting or standing outside the church.
Can you spot the one Belgian priest?

@CommieThreat Well what about Father Thadeus Nguyen Van Ly? He had his mouth covered by a VC in court. Freedom in vietnam my ass. Only U.S. and VNCH could make Vietnam Free.

@CommieThreat Then why does Vietnam have no diplomatic relations with the Vatican, why were there questions about the Archbishop Emeritus of Hanoi's resignation, why was a church taken away from parishioners by the government?
