Arrested- For Baptizing People

He was able to celebrate Easter Mass, but was detained and brought to the police station, on charges of of having baptized people. It is yet another violation of religious freedom by the authorities of Lang Son, K’Bang County  (central Vietnam), in the area of the Montagnards and it happened to Bishop Michael Hoang Duc Oanh, who was previously prevented from celebrating mass for Christmas in the same village.

Via.

Here in America you can baptize people all you like even if you have no idea what it means or how it’s done.  Sigh. I have a suspicion that we in the West will regret one day our apathy towards faith.  I think we already should be.
