Well, this isn’t a surprise:
Pope Francis dropped a reference to Hong Kong, and a plea for religious freedom there, from the text of his message at his Sunday public audience on July 5.
In a text that had been given to Vatican journalists before the Angelus audience, the Pope was to devote a few sentences to rising tensions in Hong Kong, as China imposes harsh new security measures, cracking down on dissidents.
But shortly before the papal audience, journalists were advised that the Pope would not deliver those remarks on the situation in Hong Kong. The Vatican gave no explanation for the last-minute change.
In the text distributed before the event, the Pope was to have mentioned his concern about recent developments in Hong Kong, and said:
I hope therefore that all the people involved will know how to face the various problems with a spirit of far-sighted wisdom and authentic dialogue. This requires courage, humility, non-violence, and respect for the dignity and rights of all. I thus express the desire that societal freedom, and especially religious freedom, be expressed in full and true liberty, as indeed various international documents provide for it.
The curious omission of those sentiments led to speculation that the Pope’s message— mild as it was— was suppressed out of concern that it would provoke an angry reaction from sensitive officials in Beijing. The Vatican has been extremely careful to maintain friendly relations with the Chinese regime, and has avoided public expressions of concern about threats to religious liberty— both in Hong Kong and on the mainland.
Vatican officials are reportedly anxious to renew a secret agreement with Beijing, governing the appointment of new bishops in China. The agreement— which has been strongly criticized by Cardinal Joseph Zen, the former Bishop of Hong Kong— is due to expire in September of this year.
Go here to read the rest. PopeWatch hopes that the Vatican is being bribed by the Chinese government to the tune of two billion a year. At least Judas got thirty pieces of silver. Betraying Christ for bupkis would add stupidity into the mix of mortal sin.
No surprise and no hope for infamous “Chinese Communist Pope” Bergoglio. He’s been bought, paid-for, and obedient. He should be rejected by all Catholics and all God fearing people.
I house divided falls. You cannot serve both God and the CCP. So, when his overlords say jump, he says how high. Simple. By his fruit, you will know him.
Effing coward. Effing puppet. There is no other way to say it, unfortunately.
