Vietnam’s Phat Diem Cathedral resembles a Buddhist pagoda

Queen of the Rosary Cathedral in Phat Diem is a testimony of faith and evangelization of a French missionary priest who combined Vietnamese and Gothic styles to establish a church that looks like a Buddhist pagoda. Father Peter Tran Luc was born in a Buddhist family but became a Catholic in Phat Diem Diocese, a Catholic stronghold in northern Vietnam.
