Beyond belief: local police storm Mass
… Police raid a church and break up a Mass at the altar. It’s not a news story from Communist China
… an empty church (but with faithful watching live on streaming)
… blocking the church’s entrance with a lectern placed in the centre of the nave
… grabs his microphone
… proceeded to the concluding rite
… those brave priests who, during the Second World War, continued to celebrate Mass until the very end even as bombs fell from the sky right over their heads
