From Joe McClane
Fr Gerald Murray discusses Pope Leo XIV appointed an underground bishop as auxiliary of a key diocese in China, with the appointment also recognized by the Chinese authorities. The appointment, the first involving a mainland bishop under Leo, marks a departure from the previous pattern of episcopal nominations under the terms of the Vatican-China deal, with the pope making the appointment and the Chinese state subsequently agreeing to accept it, instead of the other way around.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Leo XIV as the Vicar of Christ, the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
