Retired head of the Catholic Diocese of Hong Kong Cardinal John Tong, left, and Bishop Joseph Ha, right, pose for photographers before a press conference in Hong Kong Monday, Jan. 7, 2019. Tong will serve as the church's interim administrator in the semi-autonomous Chinese territory, effectively blocking the succession of the highest-ranking serving bishop known to be critical of Beijing. Bishop Joseph Ha is widely seen as being too outspoken to be an acceptable successor. The announcement was made by the diocese Monday after Bishop Michael Yeung died on Thursday. (AP Photo)
