First Chinese bishop ordained since controversial Vatican-China agreement

The Roman Catholic Church has ordained its first bishop in China since Vatican and Chinese officials came to a controversial agreement concerning the appointment of bishops last September.

Fr. Antonio Yao Shun was ordained bishop of Jining on Monday morning, according to AsiaNews. He was ordained a priest in 1991, and completed his seminary studies in Beijing before spending much of the 1990s studying in the United States and Jerusalem.
