(Andy Wong | The Associated Press) Priests and their followers perform a procession during a Good Friday service at the Mindong underground Catholic church in Saiqi in southeast China's Fujian province, Friday, March 30, 2018. Good Friday celebrations in one Chinese parish had a conspicuous absence: their bishop, who just the day before was whisked away by the government. The bishop, Guo Xijin is at the center of talks between the Vatican and the atheist Communist Party that are expected to yield a historic deal on who appoints bishops in China and unite the country’s Catholics for the first time since Beijing and the Holy See severed relations nearly seven decades ago.
