The press release is out after the two days of meetings about the Church in China. The Holy Father was not at the meeting, but he has been informed about the proceedings.
I will write more about this later, but the most interesting thing to note about the Press release, is the statement that the Holy Father intends to write a letter to the Catholics in China.

I really had a hard time getting in to make this comment.On Rorate Caeli someone (anonymous) says that the exhortation might come out next week on Thursday the feast of the Conversion of St.Paul.He is obviously from England and says that in Cardinal’s Cormac-Burke published schedule he will be in Rome this week for a “postsynodal meeting on the eucharist”. Have you heard about this meeting which is obviously going to happen since the Cardinal is going to it?
