In 2014, after he was elected pope, the Muslim community called him a friend. He is the only pope to visit the largely Islamic West Asia.

China and the Vatican are expected to talk in September regarding the appointment of bishops to the churches in China.
The two sides are expected to renew an agreement that was signed in 2018. As per that agreement, China recommends the bishops, the pope approves them.
The Vatican agreed to these terms just to ensure Christianity stays alive in communist China but Pope Francis soon realised China arm-twisted the Vatican.
China set two-conditions. First, do not interfere with religious matters in China. Second, break ties with the Taiwanese government.
The Pope is bowing to China. He has neither spoken about the Uighurs nor supported protests in Taiwan and Hong Kong.
Go here to read the rest. How many Vatican officials have simply been bought by the Chinese? There is much more of Judas than Peter in the current leadership at the Vatican.
“Pope” believes in China, not God. And gets paid well for doing so.
Such behavior will not go unpunished. Let us pray God acts soon.
Yeah, I think there’s a lot of yuan sloshing around Rome these days. That whole “poor church for the poor” said nothing about clerical bank accounts.
The Chinese are not shy about trying to buy influence, so it would be a bizarre exception if they excluded the Vatican from such efforts.
And if we’ve learned anything from the McCarrick scandal, it’s that when money talks bovine excrement walks.
