I thought you were saying the underground Church in China ays the NO.

The majestic shining of the sun on Oct 1 reminded me of what happened on May 23, 1995 at the Shrine of Our Lady of Dong Lu in Hebei province in China. On that day, during a Mass concelebrated by four underground bishops and approximately 110 priests, and attended by some 30,000 pilgrims, there was a spectacular transformation of the sun, very similar to what happened at Fatima. A year later, the Chinese government destroyed the shrine.

That, of course, doesn't happen in the old rite...

Bishop Fellay SSPX Update Part II

For us the big, big problem is to get in touch with the underground Catholics. There you have something which is really puzzling. The "Patriotic Church"-the prop of the Communists and the one which is outside the Church-has kept the Tridentine Mass. But the underground Catholic Church has taken the new Mass in order to show its attachment to Rome! It's crazy! What can we do under such circumstances? We come there with the Tridentine Mass, so we give the impression of being with the Communist patriotics! It's upside down.

Ain't that the truth.
