CWN Editor's Note: Political leaders in Taiwan are concerned about reports that the Vatican has encouraged ‘underground’ bishops of mainland China to resign, allowing for their replacement by bishops who have Beijing’s recognition.

(The Vatican now has a mission—not an embassy—in Taiwan, and no formal ties with Beijing.)
