Proof The Bible Is True

Catholic leaders have pledged to “make the cross flourish throughout China” following the removal of more than 1,200 crosses from churches in Zhejiang province.

“Each time they take a cross down, we will put more up,” one church leader told the Guardian at a protest on Friday. “We are even considering making flags and clothes with cross patterns. We will make the cross flourish throughout China.”

The crackdown on churches in China has been widely reported over the past year. The majority of those that have had their crosses forcibly removed or that have been torn down completely have been in Zhejiang, on the east cost of the country. A significant number were state-sanctioned buildings, and many located in the city of Wenzhou – known as the ‘Jerusalem of the East’ because of its large Christian population.
