Pope Benedict XVI invited all Roman Catholics in China to unite under his jurisdiction Saturday and urged Beijing to restore diplomatic ties and permit religious freedom. He called the state-run Catholic Church "incompatible" with Catholic doctrine but nevertheless made unprecedented overtures toward it.
