Timeline
Joseph Fan Zhongliang S.J. (18 December 1918 – 16 March 2014), also known as Josephus Vei Zong Leong, was a Chinese Roman Catholic bishop in the Diocese of Shanghai in China.
Fan was baptised aged 14.
He joined the Jesuits in 1938 and became a priest in 1951.
He was convicted of counter-revolutionary activities and sentenced to 20 years in jail in 1958 and sent to a work camp in Qinghai Province.
After his release in 1978, he taught at a high school in Qinghai.
The Bishop of Qinghai ordained him Coadjutor Bishop of Shanghai on 27 February 1985, while the Bishop was in jail.
Security police arrested him again on numerous occasions, and ransacked his flat.
In 1992, the accounts of the entire Shanghai underground church were closed down, along with many of the Bishop's personal accounts, including the bishopric.
After a long prison sentence in China, he moved to the United States, and died there in 2000.
At that point, the Holy See appointed Fan Zhongliang as the successor of Cardinal Kung as the Bishop of Shanghai.
Later, the Chinese Communist Party named Aloysius Jin Luxian, SJ as the Bishop of Shanghai, causing a rift in the Church.
Both bishops were advanced in years, and due to a change in the political climate in the People's Republic of China, decided to work together.
They, with the support of the Vatican and the Church in the region, chose a candidate to succeed them.
This was Joseph Xing Wenzhi, who was named by the bishopric as auxiliary bishop on 28 June 2005.
However, the Chinese Patriotic Catholic Association continued to deny the validity of Bishop Fan and stripped Bishop Ma of his title as of December 2012, thereby observing a sede vacante in Shanghai, until the Chinese government transferred the Bishop of Haimen, Archbishop Shen Bin, to the Diocese of Shanghai, without the Pope's approval, in 2023.
Upon the death of Bishop Jin in April 2013, the Holy See hinted that Bishop Thaddeus Ma Daqin has changed from being the Auxiliary Bishop of Shanghai to the Coadjutor Bishop.
