Brave Chinese Bishop.
On Saturday, Bishop Thaddeus Ma Daqin was ordained auxiliary bishop of Shanghai. The illicit bishop attending (because of the communist government) was blocked from the laying of hands by another bishop. He was then denied communion, by asking the faithful to receive communion after Mass. At Mass, Bishop Ma resigned from his post with the CPCA (run by the communist government). He was taken down by authorities, and was found missing for his first Sunday Mass as bishop yesterday.
