About Ngô Đình Thục
- Pierre Martin Ngô Ðình Th?c (Vietnamese pronunciation: [?o ?î?? t?ùkp]) (6 October 1897 – 13 December 1984) was the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Hu?, Vietnam, and a member of the Ngô family who ruled South Vietnam in the years leading up to the Vietnam War.
- He was the founder of Dalat University. While Th?c was in Rome attending the second session of the Second Vatican Council, the 1963 South Vietnamese coup overthrew and assassinated his younger brother Ngô Ðình Di?m, who was president of South Vietnam.
- Th?c was unable to return to Vietnam and lived the rest of his life exiled in Italy, France, and the United States.
- During his exile, he was involved with Traditionalist Catholic movements and consecrated a number of bishops without the Vatican's approval for the Palmarian and Sedevacantist movements.
- As a result, he was excommunicated by the Holy See and later reconciled with the Vatican a number of times.
