"Nagasaki is famous in the history of Japanese Christianity. Not only
was it the site of the largest Christian church in the Orient, St.
Mary's Cathedral, but it also had the largest concentration of
baptized Christians in all of Japan. It was the city where the
legendary Jesuit missionary, Francis Xavier, established a mission
church in 1549, a Christian community which thrived and multiplied for
several generations until, in the early 1600s, it became the target of
brutal Japanese Imperial persecutions. Within 50 years of the planting
of Xaviar's mission church, it was a capital crime to be a Christian.
The Japanese Christians who refused to recant their beliefs suffered
ostracism, horrific torture and even crucifixions similar to the Roman
persecutions in the first three centuries of Christianity. After the
reign of terror was over, it appeared to all observers that
Christianity had been stamped out. 
However, 250 years later, in the 1850s, after the coercive gunboat
diplomacy of Commodore Perry forced open an offshore island for
American trade purposes, it was discovered that there were still
thousands of baptized Christians in Nagasaki, living their faith in a
catacomb existence, completely unknown to the government which
immediately started another purge. But because of international
pressure, the persecutions were soon stopped, and Nagasaki
Christianity came up from the underground. And by 1917, with no help
from the government, the Japanese Christian community had organized
and, after decades of work, built the massive St. Mary's Cathedral, in
the Urakami River Valley district. 
Now it turned out, in the mystery of good and evil, that St. Mary's
Cathedral was one of the landmarks that the Bock's Car bombardier had
been briefed on, and, looking through his bomb site over Nagasaki that
day, he identified the cathedral, ordered the drop, and, at 11:02 am,
Nagasaki Christianity was carbonized, then va****ized, in a scorching,
radioactive fireball. And so the persecuted, vibrant, faithful center
of Japanese Christianity became ground zero, and what Japanese
Imperialism couldn't do in 200 years of persecution, American
Christians did in 9 seconds; the entire wor****pping community of
Nagasaki was wiped out."
