A Vatican-appointed Chinese bishop has reportedly been taken into custody by the government and is undergoing “isolation and indoctrination.”

Pope Francis is an evil man.
China’s highest ranking Catholic prelate, Cardinal Joseph Zen, published an open letter to the media, accusing the Vatican of “selling out” the Church by caving in to demands of the Communist leaders.
Cardinal Zen said he was able to independently verify reports of Rome demanding that legitimate bishops yield their posts to Communist controlled candidates.
Zen said he was troubled by these reports and that he is “a pessimist regarding the present situation of the Church in China,” adding that his pessimism “has a foundation in my long direct experience of the Church in China.”

When this happens, I'll let you know.
In more relevant news, I have finally signed up for a regular hour at our adoration Chapel. My associate pastor, Fr. Jesus --- a really good guy, actually --- told me we need to pray, fast, and sacrifice in order to drive out demons.
Plus, if you ramp it up a notch, God will tell you what's our next step. He always tells us, just the moment we need to know and usually not before.
