Taipei (Fides Service) - In the absence of the Archbishop of Taipei and the president of the Regional Bishops’ Conference Cardinal Paul Shan, both attending a meeting at the Catholic University of Taipei, Father Francis King chancellor of Taipei archdiocese released the following statement to Fides: “The moment the Pope was admitted to hospital the Bishops’ Conference called on dioceses, parishes and communities to pray for his recovery, at Sunday Mass and in personal prayer.
