Please help me by answering this question about the Person Sitting in
Darkness.  When MT mentions that Catholic missionaries collected money for
Catholic deaths during the Boxer Rebellion , and demanded 680 heads for 680
Catholics murdered , isn't this strictly fiction even though MT mentions a
specific location in China where this was allegedly to have taken place ?
Perhaps he mentioned heads in a figurative sense?  Please help     Herm
