The situation in China is painful to watch and difficult to comprehend. Given some of the court rulings in our own country with regard to homosexuality, the refusal to admit the daughter of two lesbians by a catholic school and the latest ruling by a Colorado court that a christian mother is not to teach her child that homosexuality is wrong, will we soon find our own churches "run" by the American gov't?

The situation in China is painful to watch and difficult to comprehend.

It's not at all difficult to comprehend. Rome is abandoning the true Catholics of Red China in it's fruitless pursuits of ecumenism with false religions and pagan governments, e.g. Red China, the UN, the EU,....

May God bless the suffering Catholics of China who have been abandoned by their own church.
