The Great Kyoto Martyrdom
A good overview of Tecla's martyrdom and the events surrounding it by a priest at St. Francis Xavier Cathedral (known as "Kawaramachi-Sanjoo" due to its nearest large intersection) in downtown Kyoto.
A good overview of all the martyrs of Japan and the various cruel tortures they suffered, but obfuscating the fact that there was only one pregnant woman in all these martyrdoms and not various "pregnant women" as blithely stated in paragraph six.
This article focuses on the martyrdom of Pedro Kibe "whose name is mentioned in the liturgical title of this [Tecla's] martyr's group," which seems to be a cynical maneuver on the part of the modern "Church" to bury Tecla's name beneath that of another heroic martyr.
This was written by the "bishop" of Kyoto, Paul Yoshinao Otsuka, on January 1, 2007. As you will see by the contents, "A New Evangelization" means nothing less than making sure to deftly avoid any mention of Tecla's pregnancy.
More of the same from "Bishop" Yoshinao, exactly one year later. One can pile on all the praise one wants of the Kyoto Martyrs, but to not mention Tecla's pregnancy is to do them all--along with all the other martyrs of Japan--a grave disservice.
