The Holy See and the People’s Republic of China have signed a provisional agreement on the appointment of bishops, the Vatican has announced.
Mgr Antoine Camilleri, Undersecretary for the Holy See’s Relations with States, signed the deal in Beijing with Wang Chao, representing the Chinese government.
The Vatican has so far not released the full text of the deal, but they said it “concerns the nomination of bishops, a question of great importance for the life of the Church, and creates the conditions for greater collaboration at the bilateral level.”
