mayoraasei | china ordains bishop without vatican's approval

The Chinese Catholic Patriotic Association's vice chairman, Liu Bainian, said attendance by bishops at the ceremony would be voluntary and the ordination would go ahead because the Chengde diocese needs a bishop. He said the association had informed the Vatican about its plan as early as two years ago.

"A Catholic diocese cannot be without a bishop, or the Gospel cannot be spread," Liu said. "We should not let any political reasons interfere with the spread of the Gospel in China."

He said that in time, China would elect bishops for more than 40 Catholic dioceses that are currently without them and expressed hope that the Vatican would endorse them. (Source)

Spoken like a true-blood CCP faithful. Ugh.

If you don't want to "let any political reasons interfere" with the spread of Catholicism, DON'T LET YOUR POLITICAL PARTY INTERFERE WITH IT.

And I'm not even Catholic *rolls eyes*
