AmericanPapist: too hot for China

Dom posted this link to a page that lets you see what websites are being blocked by the Chinese government. His fine blog is blocked, as is mine (see below). I remember having at least one active reader from China, but I have not seen him post in the comment boxes for several months. Perhaps he can no longer access these pages.

I'd imagine many, many Catholic blogs are blocked. The Chinese government also blocks websites like Google, Facebook, CNN, etc. It appears that the Vatican website is still unblocked, however, because I gave it a try. You're welcome to test websites yourself here.

Fr. Z recently had a good post commenting on this Sandro Magister article which discusses the real state of the underground Church in China. We need to continue keeping all the Christians of China in our prayers.

Update: Some of my industrious readers are casting doubts on the diagnosis that this blog is being blocked by Chinese firewalls. It would be very helpful if a Chinese reader could notify me if they can access these pages. Obviously, however, I'm not recommending that anyone do anything that could be personally dangerous or foolish. Thank you!
