I hope that this provisional agreement really helps to elect faithful bishops and not just to please the authorities. Andrea Ding Yang's name is new to me, but I wonder how he will manage to keep the unity with Roma in Chongqing. Let's see what comes out in the long run.

I hope it turns out well in the long run too. The name Andrea Ding Yang means nothing to me, but at least he was named by Pope Leo XIV, not just by the authorities. We'll see how they do there in Chongqing with the unit against Rome.
