Laurence "Larry" Murphy, who acted as a diplomatic go-between the Vatican and the People's Republic of China, Dong informed Murphy that prior to Dong's consecration, Dong had requested approval from the Vatican.[1]: 90  Dong told Murphy that the Vatican had refused, stating in a telegram that only the pope could select bishops.[1]: 90
