Pope urges prayer for China's church unity
Pope Leo XIV called for prayer for the unity of the Catholic Church in China, which is divided between an official church controlled by Beijing and a clandestine church loyal to Rome. This call comes on the occasion of a day of prayer for the Church in China, as the country experiences disagreements over the appointment of bishops, within the framework of a historic agreement signed between the Vatican and China in 2018, aimed at unifying Catholics in the country and giving the pope the final say in bishop appointments. However, the implementation of the agreement has faced many obstacles in recent years.
