Burmese protesters have faced a “nightmare of repression and violence,” according to a missionary priest who is close to the Catholic community in the Southeast Asian country.
“For the Burmese Church, this is the hour of confession of faith, courageous witness, and martyrdom,” Fr. Gianni Criveller told ACI Stampa, CNA’s Italian-language sister news agency.
Fr. Criveller is a missionary priest with the Pontifical Institute for Foreign Missions (PIME). He currently serves as the dean of PIME’s International Theological Study in northern Italy.
Burma is one of the historic missions for PIME missionaries, who have been evangelizing in the country, officially known as Myanmar, since 1868.
