Pope Francis has called on Chinese bishops to show respect and loyalty to the ruling Chinese Communist Party as faithful members of the Chinese people.
The Vatican newspaper, LOsservatore Romano, published an article Sunday in Italian, English, and Chinese, saying that the pope has invited all the Bishops to renew their total adherence to Christ and to the Church.
At the same time, as members of the Chinese people, they are obliged to show respect and loyalty to the civil authorities.

The former bishop of Hong Kong, Cardinal Joseph Zen, told Breitbart News in an interview last week that Catholics in China are suffering huge confusion because of the recent deal between the Vatican and the Communist Party of China (CPC), which yielded some authority to the government over the naming of Catholic bishops.

This is absolutely outrageous. No pope in the history of the Catholic Church would have made such a demand of the faithful.
Jorge Bergoglio, aka Pope Francis, needs to be ignored and resisted. His public remarks, pronouncements, writings, and actions mostly serve to create an atmosphere of continuous scandal for the Church, and division among the faithful.
IMO, at the very least, Pope Francis is an ignorant fool; at worst he’s a subversive heretic - and one who is doing untold damage to the moral authority of the Roman Catholic Church.
As Catholics, we are obliged too resist and disobey a Pope who violates Catholic doctrine or commands that the faithful believe or give their assent to anything contrary to what the Church has always and everywhere taught.
Step down, Bergoglio!
Better question: Does Francis have some affiliation with Catholicism? Seems to me he's mostly into commie theology.
Poop Francis soils his piehole once again...
LOL! The Poop is better than Biden, on the gift that keeps on giving!
It’s already been documented that this prostitute pope is getting paid millions by the ChiComs to betray the faithful.
The money is actually paid out to the Vatican as a charitable gift.
The Vatican has the financial resources to establish an electronic means to allow persecuted individuals be able to participate in observing mass and aid in fulfilling their obligation but it’s doubtful something like that would happen under Francis.
The very least Francis could be doing is raising theological questions on the assertions made in the Islamic codex (which is their code of observance and behavior) known as Sharia, Beginning with this question

Instead of reaching out to and defending what Judeo/Christian beliefs are. Challenging the claims that Islamist make they are following Gods command when ruthlessly murdering and torturing non believers and destroy their edifices. Parties with suppressors of the faith
Can anyone, anywhere, of any faith or no faith, explain to us WTF is wrong with this guy?
“Listen to your RULERS oh people, they will take care of you”....
I miss John Paul the second.
I miss a Pope who is loyal to the church first.
I miss Pius XII
jorge bergoglio is not the Pope. Benedict still is. bergoglio is an everyday scumbag.
