In 2016 I was on a work assignment in China. Before I went, I asked my priest how I was supposed to go to church. He consulted the archbishop.

He told me that the government backed church was not church and that if I tried to attend an underground Church that I would put the parishioners in danger. He told me to try to get an American video of Mass on the internet.

It was relatively easy to find on the heavily censored Chinese internet. And I knew I was being monitored. I guess the Chinese authorities don’t care if you keep it to yourself.

Was this an English language mass? I seriously doubt they care about English language masses, on the assumption that the average Chinese wouldn’t know the language well enough to follow what’s being said.
