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 Schloss, Tucson, AZ e mail [log in to unmask]
