Pope Pius XI consecrated six Chinese bishops
First source report
Pope Pius XI ordained six Chinese priests as bishops at St. Peter's Basilica on October 28, 1926. The Pope selected each candidate from lists sent from China.
The ordinations were intended to establish native Chinese leadership within the local Church. The event occurred during a period when missions in China operated under a French protectorate. This historical milestone is noted in relation to the 2018 provisional agreement between the Holy See and the People's Republic of China regarding the appointment of bishops. Under that agreement, the Vatican and Beijing follow a procedure where the Pope maintains the final decision on appointments.
