  • He did not voice his opinion

  • He defended them

  • He was neutral

Answer

The Buddhist crisis was a period of tension between the government of South Vietnam and the Buddhist majority of the population, which began in 1963. The crisis was caused by the government's pro-Roman Catholic policies, which favoured Catholics over Buddhists in terms of government positions and other privileges. Thơ, a Catholic himself, defended these policies and accused the Buddhists of being communists.
