In this Wednesday, March 28, 2018 photo, a worker stands on a scaffolding as he preparing the up coming Easter day mass at the Shantou Catholic church in Shantou in south China's Guangdong province. 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 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.
