Statement by Bishop Stephen Lee Bun-Sang on the Recent Reports on Sino-Vatican Relationship
Dear Brothers and Sisters in the Lord,
I am pleased to learn that on 22 September China and the Vatican signed a provisional agreement concerning the appointment of bishops in mainland China. I thoroughly reckon that both parties have worked towards this provisional agreement after a long period of time with persistent effort of research and dialogue. This agreement is a positive move especially in favour of the communion of the Catholic Church in China and the Universal Church.
I encourage the faithful to continue to pray for the progress in Sino-Vatican relationship, with the hope that this provisional agreement may really be implemented, so as to contribute to and benefit the Chinese society and the Church’s charitable, pastoral, social, and educational apostolates, striving to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ far and wide.
May God bless us all.
Dom Stephen Lee Bun Sang
Bishop of Macau
