My good friend Dr. Tony Clark will be on Catholic Answers Live today to talk about Catholicism in China. Tony, who teaches Asian history at the University of Alabama, has spent a lot of time in China and neighboring countries and will be
teaching in Beijing this fall. He is currently finishing work on a book on the Catholic martyrs in China; it contains a wealth of information from a number of archives and libraries (including the Vatican Secret Archives and the Papal Library) that has never before been translated into English. I've been reading the manuscript and it is an impressive combination of scholarship and moving meditation on the lives and deaths of saints (today, by the way, is the feast day of 120 Chinese martyrs).
Tony will be the guest on the first hour of Catholic Answers Live (3:00-4:00 Pacific). You can listen to the program online from the calendar page, or download the archived show in a day or two from the same page.

In agreement with the good deacon, I'm sure it will be an excellent program and well worth any listener's time.
