The list of participants in the second session of the Synod, released today by the Vatican, includes Bishop Vincenzo Zhan Silu, one of the bishops whose excommunication was lifted in 2018. He will work alongside Archbishop Joseph Yang Yongqiang, who already participated in the first session last year. His diocese in Fujian saw the painful resignation of"underground" Bishop Guo Xijin.
As Card Jean-Claude Hollerich, Archbishop of Luxembourg and relator general of the Synod, explained, almost all the members participated in the first session in October 2023; only 26 have changed, essentially replacements because of impediments that have intervened since then. All this suggests that the choice to designate Bishop Zhan Silu in lieu of Bishop Yao Shun was done by the official bodies of the Chinese Catholic community, which are controlled by Chinese authorities.
It should be added that already the Synod on young people, held in the Vatican in 2018, saw the participation of Bishop Joseph Guo Jincai of Chengde, one of the bishops whose excommunication the Pope had lifted just a few weeks earlier.
