Bad Year For catholic church In China
VATICAN CITY. Dec. l7-tl'teu- tersi C. The year 1951 will go down in hi tory as one of the worst for to Roman Catholic Church in Communist China. the Vatican's Congregation for the Propagation of the Faith said to- day.
It. declared there are
the Communists systematically destroy-
ing the church. its hierarchy, schools and charitable institu- tions.
The Congregation said that
from the beginning of this year. more than 1.200 foreign inissior.- aries have been expelled and over 300 are in jail accused of sabotaging the new Communist- sponsored Schismatic Church.
Of those expelled. 18 were bishops. 530 priests, 40 teaching lay brothers and 650 sisters. Those in jail include 22 bishops.
The number of foreign Catho- lic missionaries in China has thus been reduced to 2,200. comprising 1.500 priests. 100 lay brothers
