ROME — Both China and Taiwan have donated masks and medical supplies to the Vatican in recent days but while the Vatican thanked China publicly it has kept silent over Taiwan’s generosity.
As Breitbart News reported, on April 9 the Vatican issued a glowing public statement thanking the People’s Republic of China for donations of medical supplies to combat the spread of the coronavirus, calling the gesture a sign of China’s “solidarity” with the Holy See.

On April 14, Taiwan’s Embassy to the Holy See released a statement announcing they had donated 280,000 medical masks to the Vatican, the Italian bishops, Italian hospitals and various religious institutes in Italy, Crux reported.

The Vatican’s silence concerning Taiwan’s donations stands in stark contrast to its vocal gratitude to China, which sends “a strong signal of where the Vatican’s interests lie,” Crux noted.
The Holy See is one of only 15 countries in the world to enjoy diplomatic relations with Taiwan but the Vatican has made it clear that it would be willing to cut off ties with Taiwan in order to forge an agreement with China, and has repeatedly snubbed Taiwan in favor of mainland China.

Recently been reading about the Argentine rational, perspective and military behavior leading up to and during the Falklands War. Suffice it to say Argentina, from which this pope emanates is a very strange and sick society. Simply would not trust their judgement or expect them to act in an ethical or rational manner in almost any situation.
Pope Benedict XVI, a good and decent man from a much better time and place.
