Chinese authorities have appointed a new bishop to the largest Roman Catholic diocese in China in violation of a bilateral agreement between the Holy See and China, the Vatican says.
VATICAN CITY - Chinese authorities have appointed a new bishop to Shanghai, the largest Roman Catholic diocese in China, the Vatican said on Tuesday (April 4), in an apparent violation of a bilateral pact between the two states. The Holy See was informed "a few days ago" of the decision by China to transfer Bishop Shen Bin from Haimen, in.
So far the Vatican has remained silent on the decision of Chinese authorities to transfer a bishop to another diocese without their prior knowledge or approval, thus violating the terms of the 2018 Vatican-China deal on episcopal appointments.
