Yahoo News - Church members detained in China
AP reports, "Police scuffled with members of an underground Catholic church in northern China who were protesting the detention of two clergymen, seriously injuring at least two people, a U.S. group said Thursday. [...] China permits worship only in such official churches. Millions more Catholics worship in unauthorized 'house churches.' The government frequently harasses and arrests followers and clergy of the underground church." [Believers Persecuted, Matthew 24:8]
