It is not all bad news.

Though the Vatican concordat with the People’s Republic of China brings little joy to many, for some the news that at least one of the Chinese bishops who have received Papal endorsement is married has put a spring in the step. It is Good News for that small group of Anglicans bishops which has been leaning on the door of the CDF for some time to no avail.

We send the season’s greetings to Mr and Mrs HInd.
