"Mgr James Su Zhimin [pictured], 80, has done 40 years in prison; Mgr Cosma Shi Enxiang, 90, has spent 50 years. No one talks about them whilst the Chinese government says it 'does not know where they are'. Many fear they might die under torture as other bishops have done before. The Vatican should demand their release as a condition for dialogue. A campaign is launched on their behalf in 2012." (Read the entire article here.)
Please remember these holy bishops in your prayers. They are forgotten by the world and forgotten by Pope Benedict who continues to appease the Communists. The pope treats the Communist "Patriotic Association" as if it is Catholic, even though this is obviously false.
These holy bishops suffer in our place. It's the American Catholic Church that has sold its soul to socialism under the guise of "social justice" and consequently deserves the punishment. As our country is on the brink of descending into socialist hell, we may yet learn how to suffer well. Pray the Rosary for the conversion of Russia.
