From the article:
VATICAN CITY – Pope Benedict XVI insisted Saturday on his right to ordain bishops as he consecrated a Chinese prelate in an implicit challenge to attempts by China’s official church to ordain bishops without his approval.
Monsignor Savio Hon Tai-Fai, a 60-year-old Hong Kong prelate recently named to the No. 2 spot in the Vatican’s missionary office, was one of five bishops ordained by Benedict in St. Peter’s Basilica.
His elevation comes amid a new low point in relations between the Holy See and Beijing over the Chinese state-backed church’s ordination of bishops without papal consent.

Come, Lord Jesus. The world is sick, and needs the Divine Physician.

God Bless you.

I believe there is an underground Catholic church in China were the Pope is in charge. I think the Pope would like to combine them if he can get control and teach the truth to the state run church.
 
I watched the pope ordain the Chinese Bishop. God bless them both for being so brave.
