AsiaNews: Vatican City (AsiaNews) – Pray for the Church in China, a country where Christ is “rejected, ignored or persecuted,” the bishops of that country who are “suffering” so “their desire to stay in the one and Universal Church overcome the temptation of a path independent of Peter “and to” enlighten those who are in doubt, recall those who are lost, comfort the afflicted, strengthen those who are ensnared by the false flattery of opportunism”.
This is the invitation that Benedict XVI made today to Catholics throughout the world, ahead of the day of prayer for the Church in China, on 24 May. Read full report here.
