Bishops consecrated in secret for Underground Church in China

Following the Vatican’s secret deal with China, Catholic bishops are being secretly consecrated to serve the Underground Church in the country, according to new details shared by a fellow underground bishop.  

Shortly after the signing of the Vatican’s secret deal with China in 2018, Catholics in the Underground Church professed to feeling betrayed.  AsiaNews – a site that regularly documents the abductions and torturing of underground Catholics – reported that “Underground Catholics bitterly suspect that the Vatican has abandoned them.”
