I don't have time to troll through all of his posts.

Well stop professing that which you cannot substantiate. You challenged me. I posted his defense of attendance at CPA Masses. Now you don't have time to back up your lies.

Allowing the Chinese to make suggestions is harmless,

I thought you would have been quite familiar with the preconciliar Catholic Church's views about the evils of Communism.

You have proved me wrong.

your lies.

A lie? Well, if you accuse me of such, prove that I said that while thinking that it was untrue. Otherwise, you might want to consider the practice of traditional Catholicism...Charity thinketh no evil.

Suggestions can be ignored quite easily. I see no downside to allowing some sort of formal process to appease the Chinese, so long as nothing is actually given to them. There is precedent. For instance, the Concordat with Nazi Germany:

The Bull nominating Archbishops, Coadjutors "cum jure successionis", or appointing a "Praelatus nullius", will not be issued until the name of the appointee has been submitted to the representative of the National Government in the territory concerned, and until it has been ascertained that no objections of a general political nature exist.
