"Martyrdom is never the end, but the beginning": On China's saints and martyrs

Here is my good friend, Tony Clark, talking to Doug Keck on the most recent edition of EWTN's "Bookmark" program, about his new book, China's Saints: Catholic Martyrdom During the Qing (1644-1911) (Rowman and Littlefield, 2011):

 

Later this year, EWTN will be airing a 13-part series based on the book.
