At his Episcopal ordination in Shanghai the other day: Thaddeus Ma Daqin refused the imposition of hands from an excommunicated bishop, and publicly renounced his membership in the Patriotic Association. With officials of same right there.

    Epic loss-of-face for the Patriotic Association.
    St John Fisher – pray for him.

    Can’t say it any better than what’s already been said!

    I understand the congregation broke out into spontaneous applause. That man is brave!

    I’m praying that his martyrhood isn’t too painful…..I don’t have high hopes of him being released alive.

    Bishop Ma is in great need of our prayers. He is confined by the government to the Sheshan Seminary in response to his courageous actions.
