For our last episode for #AsianAmericanandPacificIslanderHeritageMonth Mike, Nate and Jessica talk about a whole country that is very unique in Catholic history, Korea. (In part because every saint from the country is a martyr who we may not know much more about besides that fact.) Korea has the 4th most canonized saints in the Church, was the location of the 1st canonization outside of Rome since the Middle Ages, there were 93 Koreans canonized all one time in part of the largest number of people canonized at one time, and was converted by books. They also went years without priests including 40 years when there was no priest in the entire country.
We also talk about Old Testament saints, cow-a-pults, missionary work in Asia, Jesuits vs. Dominicans, confucianism vs. Christianity, what sacraments don't require clergy, poor record keeping, zigging when you should zag, martyrs, and books.
