    SUBJECT: DAS DUGAN MEETS WITH PARTY, PRACTITIONERS ON
    RELIGION

    ¶1. (SBU) Summary: During November 23 meetings in Hanoi, a
    Communist Party official told DRL DAS Elizabeth Dugan that
    the Party upholds freedom of religion in Vietnam and
    stressed that the country's thriving religious life is proof
    of this.  However, the official said that Protestantism has
    been very disruptive in some parts of Vietnam, causing local
    officials to be prejudiced against it.  A leader of the
    officially recognized Buddhist denomination claimed that
    Vietnam has complete religious freedom, something foreigners
    "do not understand."  A Catholic bishop was less positive,
    documenting the imbalances in permitted activities between
    northern and southern Vietnam and expressing disappointment
    at the new Ordinance on Religion.  End Summary.

    Party Remains Suspicious of Protestants
    ---------------------------------------

    ¶2. (SBU) Trinh Xuan Gioi, Vice Chairman of the Mass
    Mobilization Commission of the Communist Party, began his
    November 23 meeting with DAS Dugan by explaining the role
    and activities of the Commission.  As a component of the
    Central Committee of the Communist Party, the Mass
    Mobilization Commission studies ways in which the government
    can enact the guidance of the Party in a manner that reaches
    every citizen.  The Commission focuses on social groups,
    including workers, women, intellectuals, minorities and
    religious organizations.  (Note: The Commission is the body
    through which the Party oversees most social groups.  End
    note.)  Gioi proceeded to a familiar recitation of the ways
    in which freedom of religion is upheld in Vietnam.  Freedom
    of belief was established by a 1955 law on religious affairs
    and recently upheld in a Party resolution.  Responding to
    this resolution, the National Assembly issued the new
    Ordinance on Religion, which further guarantees religious
    freedom.  Today there are six major religions in Vietnam and
    over 21,000 places of worship, including one in almost every
    village.  Despite the nation's poverty, many churches and
    temples have been renovated and religious festivals are
    widely celebrated.  Religious organizations are free to
    organize and meet; for example, the Hoa Hao Buddhist
    organization recently held its second congress in Southern
    Vietnam, Gioi noted.

    ¶3. (SBU) Responding to DAS Dugan's question, Gioi said that
    the Party supports the social programs that religious groups
    carry out.  Religious organizations have opened nursery
    schools, churches provide scholarships for students and
    religious workers operate leprosy centers.  The Party and
    Government consider these to be positive actions.  Gioi
    noted that there are some areas in which local authorities
    have not allowed practitioners to build or renovate
    churches, but added that these are unusual instances and
    that the Commission is working to implement more broadly the
    Party's goals.

    ¶4. (SBU) Addressing the banned Unified Buddhist Church of
    Vietnam (UBCV), Gioi said that this organization and most of
    its leaders peacefully united with the Vietnam Buddhist
    Sangha (VBS) after unification of the country, and thus
    ceased to exist as an independent body.  Current UBCV
    activists Thich Huyen Quang and Thich Quang Do have not
    followed the rest of the UBCV's leadership in joining the
    VBS.

    ¶5. (SBU) Turning to Protestantism, Gioi said that the
    preaching of this faith is a "shock" to many people.  Some
    Protestant preachers have said that the aim of their
    religion is to establish independent Dega and Hmong nations.
    As such, local authorities have come to view the religion as
    a "political scheme."  Preachers also pressure and
    intimidate people to join Protestantism, attempt to divide
    families and force adherents to remove their traditional
    home altars.  Especially in mountainous areas, Protestantism
    has led to family divisions and social conflict, and, as a
    result, some local officials have become prejudiced against
    the religion.  Making a historical comparison, Gioi said
    that when Catholicism was introduced to Vietnam during the
    Nguyen dynasty, it was also a "shock," and feudal leaders
    banned the religion and executed many of its followers.
    "This was unacceptable," Gioi admitted.  In southern
    Vietnam, "80 percent of Protestants follow religious life
    normally," Gioi specified, and only a portion the
    Protestants active in the Central Highlands have taken
    advantage of the religion to advance "political goals."
    "Where worship is normal, authorities must recognize
    congregations; however, where there are problems,
    authorities will delay recognition," Gioi said.

    ¶6. (SBU) DAS Dugan said that, in the United States,
    religions are considered to be grounded in doctrine and not
    to have political motives.  If religious leaders commit
    improper actions, however, they are dealt with through the
    justice system in a transparent manner.  She added that
    while it is clear that there are a great many practitioners
    and opportunities for worship in Vietnam, the detention of
    individuals for peacefully practicing their faith undermines
    all of Vietnam's efforts to highlight these freedoms to
    foreign observers.

    Official Buddhists - Situation Rosy
    -----------------------------------

    ¶7. (SBU) In a separate meeting November 23, the Venerable
    Thich Thanh Tu, Rector of the Buddhist Academy in Hanoi and
    Vice President of the Executive Council of the Vietnam
    Buddhist Sangha (VBS), told DAS Dugan that, "through peace
    and war, Vietnam's Buddhists have always been united."
    Buddhism has been practiced in Vietnam for 2,000 years and,
    without freedom of religion in the country, this would not
    have been possible.  Ho Chi Minh himself issued an order
    guaranteeing religious freedom.  The new Ordinance on
    Religion reiterates this, and the "people are very happy
    about it."  The Ordinance also serves to clarify provisions
    that uphold this freedom.  It was issued for foreign
    observers who do not understand that freedom of religion
    exists in Vietnam, Thich Thanh Tu claimed.

    ¶8. (SBU) DAS Dugan inquired about the relationship between
    the VBS and the UBCV, as well as about the reason why UBCV
    leader Thich Quang Do was stopped from traveling to visit
    Patriarch Thich Huyen Quang.  Thich Thanh Tu said he sees
    the two UBCV leaders as the VBS's "religious partners," and
    added that "there is no division between us."  He said the
    GVN has been "compassionate" towards the two UBCV leaders,
    with Party and Government leaders visiting Thich Huyen Quang
    when he was in the hospital in Hanoi, as well as calling
    upon him in his temple in Binh Dinh Province.  Thich Thanh
    Tu said he had personally visited Thich Huyen Quang in Binh
    Dinh, and, upon hearing that he had recently fallen ill,
    planned to invite him to Hanoi for treatment.  He did not
    know why Thich Quang Do would be blocked from visiting Thich
    Huyen Quang, but suggested that Do's doctors might have
    prevented him from traveling due to his heart condition.

    Catholics - More Restrictions in the North
    ------------------------------------------

    ¶9. (SBU) Joined by the Ambassador, DAS Dugan began her
    November 23 meeting with Ngo Quang Kiet (protect), Bishop of
    Lang Son Diocese and Apostolic Administrator of the Hanoi
    Diocese, by noting that she had met with Archbishop Man in
    Ho Chi Minh City two days before.  Bishop Kiet said that the
    situation of the Church in northern and southern Vietnam is
    different "in almost every field."  The Diocese of Ho Chi
    Minh City has roughly 500,000 faithful and 500 priests to
    minister to them, while Hanoi has 350,000 believers but only
    60 priests.  The ability to train priests is much greater in
    the south, with each diocese allowed ten to 20 students per
    seminary class, while in the north, only five to ten
    students are allowed.  After complaining to the GVN, the
    Church has been allowed 11 students per diocese in this
    year's Hanoi seminary class.  In every diocese in the south,
    churches run nursery schools, while in the north, this is
    only allowed in Hanoi.  Similarly, in the south the Church
    runs a number of health clinics and organizes doctors to
    provide health care in the countryside, while only one
    Catholic clinic exists in the north.  When DAS Dugan
    inquired about the reason for such inconsistencies, Kiet
    said that "we are confused about this and have complained to
    the Government, but they did not answer us."

    ¶10. (SBU) Turning to the new Ordinance on Religion, Bishop
    Kiet said that the document "demonstrates the good will of
    the Government."  He noted that the Government solicited a
    broad range of opinions in the drafting process, but said
    the Church was disappointed that these opinions do not seem
    to be reflected in the final version.  The Ordinance has
    some "new points," but the Church also has many
    reservations, and it is not the "complete renovation" of the
    issue they had hoped for.  Bishop Kiet said that he had not
    had a chance to comment on the draft of the implementing
    regulations of the Ordinance as he had been away when the
    Committee for Religious Affairs held a discussion session in
    Hanoi.  However, the Bishop's Council has requested that the
    regulations provide better definitions of "ambiguous terms"
    such as "registration" and "notification."  The Ambassador
    inquired as to whether the Church could now transfer priests
    from Ho Chi Minh City to Hanoi, which is seemingly allowed
    under the new Ordinance.  Bishop Kiet said they had not
    tried this recently and expressed his belief that the
    Ordinance is intended to allow transfers of priests within
    the same diocese only.  Finally, responding to the
    Ambassador's question, Bishop Kiet said that proselytization
    is not a problem in large cities, but is more difficult in
    mountainous areas.

    ¶11. (U) DAS Dugan has cleared this cable.
