When Cardinal Joseph Zen Ze-kiun, the honorary bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Hong Kong and ex-trustee of the 612 Humanitarian Support Fund, was in Rome to attend Pope Benedict XVI’s funeral, he also had a meeting with Pope Francis.

Cardinal Zen, who was in jail on suspicion of violating the National Security Law, was given bail and flew to Rome on Jan. 5, the day of the Vatican funeral.
