CWN Editor's Note: The Holy See Press Office announced that Father Ignatius Ding Zuyao, 40, was consecrated bishop of Haimen, China, on October 15.
Typically, the Holy See Press Office announces a bishop’s appointment, rather than his consecration. In announcing the prelate’s consecration, the press office stated that Pope Leo, “having approved his candidacy within the framework of the Provisional Agreement between the Holy See and the People’s Republic of China,” made the appointment on August 24.
The announcement follows similar episcopal consecrations in recent months.
