By choosing the priest Peter Wu Yishun, the government in Beijing and the Vatican have agreed on a third bishop in just one week. Wu will take over the diocese of Shaowu. The Holy See Press Office announced the appointment on Wednesday after the bishop’s consecration had taken place. It is part of the provisional agreement between the Vatican and the People’s Republic of China. An earlier announcement confirmed that new bishops for Zhengzhou and Weifang had already been appointed.
