China and Vietnam. Two Accords Bought At a High Price
In China there was on August 26 the first episcopal ordination made on the basis of the accord stipulated with Beijing on September 22 2018
on August 28 this was followed by a second ordination
Curiously, the Holy See did not release the official news of their ordinations
Both of the new bishops had been elected to this role, last April, by assemblies of priests, religious, and laymen of the respective dioceses, all of them selected by the Chinese authorities, brought together at a hotel and instructed on whom to vote for.
