The Patriotic Association, the state-controlled Church in China, has ignored the Holy See's wishes and ordained a new bishop, the BBC reported. Father Ma Yingling was ordained a bishop of Kunming at a ceremony in Yunnan province today. The Holy See had called for a delay in the appointment over concerns the bishop is inexperienced and too closely aligned with China's communist regime, the BBC said. China also has an "underground" Church that is loyal to the Pope.
