Francis Accomplishes What Communists Couldn't Do: He Crushes Church in China
From Gloria
Hong Kong Cardinal Joseph Zen has asked Pope Francis in a letter to suspend the secret September agreement with the Beijing regime (la-croix.com, November 22).
Zen noticed that the only palpable result of the deal is that Francis lost his authority over the Church in China. Now, the Chinese regime tells even the underground Catholic Church to join the Communist State Church, Zen added.
This way, the Vatican is "indirectly helping the government to annihilate the underground Church which Beijing was not able to crush".
During a November 21 talk in Bologna, Italy, Cardinal Pietro Parolin, the main responsible for the China agreement, called the deal "an act of faith".

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
Francis just sent the wolves to watch the sheep. He committed treason to the Catholic Church therefore to Christ.
