Cardinal Zen delivers letter to pope

On Wednesday, Hong Kong’s 86-year-old Cardinal emeritus Joseph Zen (陳日君) appeared in Saint Peter’s Square, lined up in the cold with other petitioners, seeking to deliver a letter directly into the hands of Pope Francis. He was coming to deliver a letter from the “underground” Catholic congregation in China, so that the pope would better understand why they oppose submitting to the Communist regime ^[1].
