A Chinese priest of the "underground" Catholic Church has been arrested for the crime of organizing a camp for 300 students. Father John Baptist Luo was unmoved by the threat of imprisonment. "I'm ready to go to jail," he told the AsiaNews service. "I would be happy to serve as a witness to Christ and follow the example of many holy martyrs."
