The communist government of Vietnam continues use the bad ways in order to wipe all traces religion with the intention to appropriate property land entirely owned by the Seminary of Vinh Long. Since after the communist government takeover of South Vietnam until now, thousands of valid grounds of Vietnam Catholic Church were seized by authorities who using an appropriate power illegally and use of the office above an arbitrary or improper purposes, or internally divided each other that make more urgency in the public opinion especially for lay people in particular. The government appropriated the property of the Catholic Church on behalf of "borrowing" used for purposes of public benefits, but then quickly changed completely by using darkly way variables the "borrowing" into their own in order to profit.
For past years, church leaders, including leaders from the dioceses and parishes have repeatedly written request to state government promptly to return the property and land that the government took won a wrong way to serve the religious needs of living. Instead of goodwill by dialogue to address the legitimate requirements of Vietnam Catholic Church, the communist authorities to find all the tricks and evil cunning purpose for appropriating assets and permanently legitimate land of the Church, cynical and law. While the land is owned and managed by the state, there is no shortage immense, so for whatever reason that they would not give any bad tricks for how to take possession of the property and land under property rights of others regardless of public opinion, despite violations of the law and despite all human morality?
In essence, the government does not need the assets and little land from the Catholic Church in Vietnam. The main reason it is not like other religion on an extended expansion. The property occupies the land of the other religion is the most effective measures to isolate and control the performance of all activities of religious communities, especially the Catholic Church, an organization Religion has always been listed as ingredients fiercely anti-communist tradition and continuity. We must also remember the Tet Offensive in 1968, following the occupation of the Thua Thien Hue province, in nearly a month, the interim government of communist Vietnam has brutally murdered more than five thousand people, the goal is aimed at the parish, the parish where many Catholics live.

We all understand this is the basis of the Seminary of the Diocese of Vinh Long, located at 75 Nguyen Hue St., Ward 2, City of Vinh Long, Vinh Long province, but had been turned into recreational youth . It is sad and confused when so many contributions of our ancestors, the faithful in the Diocese had been canceled a bluff.

The consequence of this requisition that many priests and seminarians professors are training school, was imprisoned for the crime of which they never do, it's reactionary crime. Among those detained, which are currently live and have served the Diocese: Bishop Thomas, Bishop of the Diocese of Vinh Long in office; Father Paul Luu Van Kieu, General Agent, and former professor of the Seminary Father Institute, the priests serving in parishes in the Diocese.

State of Vinh Long has been occupied since September 1977.
December 12, 2006, we received some 8/CV-TTr.XKT text of the Provincial Ombudsman asked us to supplement the required documents to the Provincial Ombudsman review, December 20, 2006 , we have sent all the additional documents required by the Provincial Ombudsman, but until now, the Archdiocese of Vinh Long diocese had not received a response from the government.
As with other diocese, the Diocese of Vinh Long should have a place as a basis to meet the needs of pastoral training for priests, monks, and more than 200,000 Catholics. The whole diocese is very frustrating because the Seminary facilities and places of worship are still occupied and used in the work inconsistent with a previous religious establishments. In addition, the current ground floor houses left from the entrance is being hit, removing without our opinions.
So, we, bishops and all priests, and petitions signed to the authorities keep the state and soon transferred to the Diocesan Seminary facilities mentioned above, to the Diocese with infrastructure substances used in the religious, so religious people everywhere would be able to trust to its "respect for religious freedom" of the State.
