Letter to the bishop of Shanghai: "No one can deprive you of your episcopal ministry"
A Catholic from the Diocese of Shanghai writes to his bishop, currently under house arrest at Sheshan Seminary, "punished" by the Chinese Patriotic Catholic Association for obeying the pope. On the day of his ordination, he refused communion offered by excommunicated bishops and resigned from the body that controls the Church. China's new leader Xi Jinping pledged to uphold the constitution. Will he do so in Bishop Ma Daqin's case? In Shanghai, Catholics are praying so that Xi Jinping may be inspired by wisdom.
