If you check the Annuario Pontificio, you will not find any of the Vatican-approved bishops listed there either. None the less, all of the bishops listed in the www.asianews.it article are approved by the Holy See. Please see today's VIS and FIDES dispatches which provide substantially the same account as given on the www.asianews.it website. The vast majority of the government-approved bishops in China are in communion with the Holy See. Both www.asianews.it and www.ucanews.com regularly report on the ordinations of bishops in China. Both agencies accurately report the status of Chinese bishops, both the ordinands and the ordaining prelates. If you look at the reporting on the previous four episcopal ordinations in China this year, you will see that they were accurately reported and in each instance, FIDES carried a report on the ordination within a few days after each ordination. Here are the urls for today's FIDES report: http://www.fides.org/aree/news/newsdet.php?idnews=34171&lan=ita for the report on the ordination of the Bishop of Sanyuan: http://www.fides.org/aree/news/newsdet.php?idnews=34082&lan=ita for the report on the ordination of the Bishop of Xiamen: http://www.fides.org/aree/news/newsdet.php?idnews=33736&lan=ita for the report on the Bishop of Haimen: http://www.fides.org/aree/news/newsdet.php?idnews=33627&lan=ita and for the report on the Bishop of Hohhot: http://www.fides.org/aree/news/newsdet.php?idnews=33568&lan=ita I hope that this will reassure you that the AsiaNews report is accurate.
