Bp. Peter Shao Zhumin often arrested, kidnapped by police
WENZHOU, China (ChurchMilitant.com) - A Chinese bishop defying the China-Vatican accord is being closely monitored by communist authorities and is forbidden from leading religious services.
Bishop Peter Shao Zhumin of the Wenzhou diocese was shipped off to forced indoctrination in September, Bitter Winter reported Sunday. He was not allowed back out until October 8. The Chinese bishop remains under close surveillance from the police and is prohibited from leading religious activities.
Defiant of the communist government, Bp. Shao Zhumin has been arrested and imprisoned many times in recent years.
October 5 this year was the 10th anniversary of the death of Bp. Lin Xili, a previous leader of the Wenzhou diocese. Bishop Xili spent 16 years in labor camps, and in his final years was under high levels of surveillance by the authorities.
After Bp. Shao Zumin was shipped away, communist authorities told him he was prohibited from paying homage to his late predecessor. They threatened to destroy Bp. Xili's tomb if there were any ceremonies commemorating him.
On Oct. 4, hundreds of law enforcement officers blocked off the roads around Bp. Xili's tomb to prevent commemorations by the faithful. Some were sent to nearby churches to make sure there were no Masses honoring the late bishop.
