Bishop Wang News Today

The official Catholic representative of Henan Province has been consecrated as the bishop of the Zhengzhou diocese by the Holy See.

A book published in Italy traces the story of the missionary bishop of Zhengzhou, the immediate predecessor of one of three recently appointed bishops in the People's Republic of China. Paul VI praised him for his extraordinary example of courage and fidelity to the Gospel in communist imprisonment and for the love he always kept alive for the flock that had been entrusted to him, even in exile.

The appointment of the 58-year-old Bishop Wang marks a change since the Diocese of Zhengzhou has been without a bishop since the 1950s.
