CWN Editor's Note: “Bishops in China have almost unfettered power,” said a priest who writes of “the selling of religious property, the sexual liaisons, and the other corrupt practices ...

    Transferring priests you don't like to the boondocks, to poor parishes is frequently practiced in the US also.
