The Vatican has issued a strong denunciation of religious repression in China because of fears that 23 Roman Catholics -- including eight priests -- have been arrested, and some ordered to undergo enforced re-education.

One aged bishop is understood to have died in prison.

The pope's spokesman, Joaquin Navarro-Valls, criticized China for arresting the eight priests and two seminary students in Hebei province last month.

"The reasons for such repressive measures have not been made known to the Holy See," he said. "If the received news turns out to be true, we find ourselves once again faced with a grave violation of freedom of religion, which is a fundamental right of man."

Two of the priests were sentenced to "a period of re-education through forced labor," while others, detained in Baoding diocese, had not yet been released, Navarro-Valls said in a statement over the weekend.

The Relatively Charmed Life Of Neil Bush

During his travels, he met with several Arab princes and enjoyed a private dinner with Jiang Zemin, then China's president, who serenaded Bush with a military song.


In the late '80s and early '90s, Bush embarrassed his father, George H.W. Bush, with his shady dealings as a board member of the infamous Silverado Savings and Loan, whose collapse cost taxpayers $1 billion.

Now Bush has embarrassed his brother George W. Bush with a made-for-the-tabloids divorce that featured paternity rumors, a defamation suit and, believe it or not, allegations of voodoo.
