CAPTION=China blows up hundreds of illegal 'churches'
By Davbid Reenie, Beijing
China blows up hundreds of illegal 'churches'
Chinese Communist Party authorities in the city of Wenzhou have torn down or
blown up more than 200 illegal churches and temples.
A further 239 small places of worship in the east coast city, many of them
linked to the underground Roman Catholic church, have been forced to close.
China's millions of underground Christians, especially those who have defied
Beijing to remain loyal to the Pope, face a bleak Christmas, as a long-running
campaign against illegal worship of all varieties coincides with a crisis in
China's relations with the wider Christian world.
Joseph Kung, head of the American-based Cardinal Kung Foundation, which monitors
the underground Catholic church in China, said: "In the past week, I have
received several reports from China that bishops and priests have been detained
by police, and I am now trying to authenticate them. Probably this is the
beginning of the crackdown for the Christmas season. All these important feast
days, like Christmas and Easter, they always crack down."
