Catholic priests in the procession

The Catholic religion isn't free in Vietnam but liberalized more and more.
Before Catholic churches around Hanoi, priests had read a statement at every Sunday Mass, asking the government "not to use any sort of violence against the Catholic faithful to settle the dispute," and pleaded with the state-run media "not to distort the truth and falsely accuse Catholic priests and faithful."
By the way I was told: The holy Catholic incense powder comes from Oman an Islamic country.
