Emil Kapaum

I have heard about this fellow, Emil Kapaum, from Wichita.  He was an Army Chaplain in Korea.  When the Chinese Communists attacked and overran the troops, Emil stayed on the battle field ministering to the dying and the wounded.  He baptized and heard confessions.  He was a great solace to soldiers in their moment of crisis fear.  Being on the overrun battlefield he got captured and continued to minister to the sick and dying in the prison camp and prevented the execution of men too injured to walk.  Camp rules said no religious service but he defied them and so they starved him and he died of pneumonia.  So when anyone says that religion makes no difference or is not needed, I point to people like Fr, Emil, who thought it very important and brought love and solace to a lot of people at the cost of his own life.  Anyone who puts down religion as useless, willing to do that?
