Chinese Catholic Bishop Dies in Custody

BEIJING (AP) -- A bishop who led an underground congregation of Roman Catholics and was repeatedly detained in China for his loyalty to the Vatican died in police custody, a monitoring group said Tuesday.
Bishop Han Dingxiang, 71, was cremated within six hours of his death Sunday and buried in a public cemetery with no priests or other faithful present, both groups said.

May I point out that the Holy Father, and those who might be considered a part of his inner circle have more important things on their minds than putting a foot (red-shod or not,) down in the matter of beyond-ugly vestments given him, (and dozens of other priests, in matching tatt,) to wear by local authorities? or even than scolding or replacing the master of ceremonies who might be thought to be behind the ugliness?
