About this sermon

There are new developments in the appointing of a Catholic bishop in Communist China. The Vatican says it is satisfied with China's official recognition of the new head for the Diocese of Tianjin. Reuters says the 95 year old had once been a member of the underground Church in China. He is now set to preside over a diocese with around 56,000 faithful. Senior Vatican Analyst at EWTN News, Frank Rocca, joins to share the significance of the Chinese government's recognition of this bishop. Rocca tells us what this says about relations between the Vatican and the Chinese government. More generally speaking, Rocca discusses what the prospects are for the Catholic Church and religious freedom in China today. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
