Anticipating Feast of Our Lady of Sheshan, Bishop Shao Taken Into Custody Again

Catholic Culture: Bishop Peter Shao Zhumin of Wenzhou, who was arrested by Chinese officials just before Easter, has again been taken into custody, the AsiaNews service reports.

Bishop Shao, whose appointment is not recognized by the Chinese government, was arrested on April 18, as he prepared to celebrate the Easter Triduum for the first time as Bishop of Wenzhou. He was returned to the diocese just after Easter, but arrested again last week. Catholics in the diocese do not know where he has been taken. More here.
