    VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - The Vatican is launching a Chinese version of its website in an effort to bring more of Pope Benedict's message to China, whose communist government does not allow Catholics to recognize his authority.

    Some Church sources and diplomats said they feared the site could be blocked by Chinese authorities, as has been the fate of other websites.
