Pope renews plea for religious freedom in China

Pope Benedict XVI asked for prayers for the Church in China yesterday, saying that the faithful are “experiencing particularly difficult moments.”

The Pope also referred to tensions arising due to an ordination of a bishop sponsored by the Catholic Patriotic Association. The Pope asked the Virgin Mary “to support all Chinese bishops, who are so dear to me, that they may bear courageous witness to their faith.”
