	Cardinal Shan diagnosed with lung cancer, asks for prayers (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Bishop Peter Liu Chen-chung, who was coadjutor bishop of Kaohsiung for 19 months before succeeding Cardinal Shan as head of the diocese, said he was "a bit surprised" to hear of the diagnosis, as nothing unusual was discovered when the cardinal went for his annual checkups in previous years.

		The cardinal was present for the late pope's funeral in April 2005 but did not take part in the conclave that elected Pope Benedict because he was past the age of 80, when cardinals no longer have the right to vote for a new pope.

	Synod 2001 World's bishop address papal primacy/qoutes
		The cardinal, who is sometimes mentioned as a possible successor to Pope John Paul II, recalled that preaching the faith is the bishops' highest duty and that "the bishop is the custodian of healthy doctrine, attentive to the correction of errors, and warning against dangers".
		The address by Cardinal Sandoval was especially significant because much of the dissatisfaction with an allegedly overcentralized form of Church governance is in reaction to the strong role of the Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith under Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger.
		Cardinal William W. Baum, head of the Holy See's Major Penitentiary and former archbishop of Washington, was also remarkably blunt in reminding the bishops of their vocation "of exercising the office of teaching and of correcting error", an obligation that he said has sometimes been avoided out of fear of criticism and other motives.

		Belgian Cardinal Godfried Daneels suggested that Vatican documents be “vaccinated” against the “microbes of authoritarianism.” Archbishop Henry D’Souza spoke of the impossibility of obtaining translations which could satisfactorily respond to Indian and tribal languages when the church insists on using a “dead language” (Latin) and a “dead foreign culture” (Roman) as the source of orthodoxy.
		Eastern Catholic Cardinal Varkey Vithayathil of the Syro-Malabar Rite in India echoed D’Souza’s complaint, insisting that, “Being exclusively Western means being insufficiently Catholic.” And Bishop Anthony Kwami Adanuty of Ghana told of having the translations into the Ewe language of his people rejected by the Vatican.

		While the numbers represent a massive drop, the effects on the diocese are not yet felt as the major surplus in vocations from previous years affords local Churches an ample supply of priests and also allows India to send many priests to Western countries which are, by comparison, devoid of vocations.
		Cardinal Varkey noted "today the tendency to avoid having children is on the increase among the couples who are motivated by selfishness to seek their own enjoyment."
		However, in his letter, the Cardinal strikes at the heart of one of the self-inflicted complicating factors in the economic impediment faced by families in India.
