Joseph Liu Xinhong

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Joseph Liu Xinhong (Simplified Chinese: 刘新红, Traditional Chinese: 劉新紅) is the Chinese Patriotic Catholic Association-sponsored Bishop of Anhui. As a layman, he was considered the strongman of the Chinese Patriotic Catholic Association, whose deputy chairman he was.[1] This association was established in 1957 to oppose relations with Rome. Consecrated as bishop in 2006 without pontifical mandate, he was automatically excommunicated, if not already out of communion.
