Francis and Cardinal Pietro Parolin "demanded the retirement of one bishop and the demotion of another" so that Communist totalitarian controlled state bishops can get control of the underground Chinese Church.
The National Review's Michael Dougherty reported what this Vatican betrayal means to the Chinese Catholics in quoting a Chinese underground pewsitter witness to the Communist regime's reign of terror:
"Everybody, and I mean everybody, knows someone who was murdered, or tortured, or disappeared to defend the principle that was just abandoned."
(National Review, "The Vatican's Deal with China: What to make of Cardinal Parolin's Diplomacy," January 23, 2017)
Cardinal Joseph Zen, bishop emeritus of Hong Kong in 2016 said the Francis/Parolin "diplomacy" is like betraying Joseph, Mary and the baby Jesus to the murderous Herod.
Cardinal Zen said:
"[T]oday would our diplomats advise Joseph to go and humbly beg for dialogue with Herod!?"
Pray an Our Father now for the Chinese Catholics that they may endure the suffering and forgive those who betrayed them:
Francis and Parolin.
