By Wu Jiao | China Daily | Updated: 2007-09-06 06:25

The Chinese Catholic society is speeding up the process of selection and ordination of young bishops to better serve millions of followers in the country, a top Catholic leader has said.

Liu Bainian, vice-president of the Chinese Catholic Patriotic Association, said posts need to be filled to serve dioceses without bishops for a long time or replace older bishops in some dioceses.

There are 97 dioceses on the Chinese mainland, of which 40 do not have bishops.
