The mortal remains of three former Church leaders return to Dili, joining those of a fourth bishop as Timor-Leste honours pastors who accompanied the nation through some of its darkest chapters.

Cardinal Virgilio says it is a solemn and moving moment to reaffirm the country's religious and national identity and a sign of cooperation between the Church and the State.
