From secret Masses in the prisons of Cuba, to clandestine clergy in the catacombs of Bratislava, to showdowns with Soviet tanks on the streets of Brno, Catholics resisted communist persecution in every way they could. Like their ancestors before them, they risked it all for their Faith — imprisonment, torture, death — knowing that the preservation of the Faith, and their immortal souls, was the only worthwhile option — and their greatest victory.
In these pages, you will read about:
- Heroic priests and bishops martyred by their governments
- The resilience of political prisoners who refused to submit to “re-education”
- Freedom fighters who died proclaiming “Viva Cristo Rey!”
- The underground Church in Czechoslovakia, where bishops secretly ministered to the faithful and continued apostolic succession
- How Catholics’ peaceful, prayerful protests were instrumental in the downfall of communist governments
- The daily “white martyrdom” experienced by Catholics who refused to join the Communist Party
- Why communism’s doctrine of worldly utopia is antithetical to the Faith
