This is what it probably would have been like during the Protestant or English Reformations if we had had instantaneous communications at the time.

Of course, the Church has partially rebounded in Europe, centuries and decades of wars later. How many centuries will it take for her to rebou d in China?

This agreement is a sellout of the Chinese Martyrs and Confessors of the past. It is a sellout of the current Church in China which is suffering under the Communist yoke. It is shameful how Cardinal Zen and others have been treated.

Since it’s all a secret, the faithful have no idea of what the agreement is.

Synodality, transparency and subsidiarity be damned.

Great reporting as always. It seems from the link that Archbishop Gallagher's name is not Kevin.

Whenever the Church attempts to cozy up to Communist regimes, as in the Ostpolitik during the cold war, it never works.
