▪ 2003
Vietnamese Roman Catholic prelate (b. April 17, 1928, Phu Cam, French Indochina—d. Sept. 16, 2002, Rome, Italy), maintained his strong faith during 13 years of imprisonment in his homeland. Ordained a priest in 1953, he taught in Nha Trang and was appointed bishop of that diocese in 1967; Pope Paul VI named him coadjutor archbishop of Saigon in 1975. When Saigon fell to the communist Viet Cong shortly after his appointment, Thuan, a nephew of slain South Vietnamese president Ngo Dinh Diem, was imprisoned. Upon his release in 1988, he was barred from visiting Vietnam and took up residence in Rome. In 1998 Thuan was named president of the Pontifical Commission for Justice and Peace, and in 2001 he was appointed cardinal.
