“The cost of doing business!”
— Pope Leo XIV…maybe.
Who could have foreseen making a deal w rabid communist could be a negative?
Every Pope prior to PF. 🤔
and worse, again.
Why is it that the Chinese Communist Party is allowed to appoint Bishops whom the Pope must confirm, but SSPX is prohibited? Let us consider: Pope Francis the Marxist Peronist Caudillo, and Pope Leo his successor, the man who marched with Italian communists against his own country.
The third sorrowful mystery, the
Crowning with Thorns — Moral Courage is the fruit thereof.
May our Chinese brothers have an abundance of this fruit which seems to have been forfeited by Rome. Fear is Holy when it’s acknowledging our Great King who makes His footstools the nations that do not fear Him.
Our Lady of Champion, pray for them and for us.
The Communist Chinese openly persecute the Catholic Church. Negotiating with the Chinese government is like negotiating with the lions in the Colliseum. The Vatican may be unwise, or simply weak, but they are trying to prevent the destruction and martydom of the Church in China by compromise with a powerful enemy that has the power to destroy the Church in China.
Yet the SSPX want the Pope to treat them the same way that he treats the Communists? They need to rethink what they are saying.
This is off-topic but I do not care for the new display that this site has adopted recently. There is no indication of how many comments have been made to a post from the home page.
the CCP may have only targeted Traditional Catholics … (yes that is cynical; and how i wish it weren’t)
A vow or promise to do evil is not a vow nor promise. Only vows and oaths to do God’s work are true.
Maybe for some in the Vatican, this is not a bad deal.
