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.
....I never pretended to know US' reasoning (unless you are referring to what I said he said back when this came up about the CCPA - just informing Grey Ghost that he was saying something untrue).

Practice what you preach, hypocrite.
Look at your post #215. You were the first to accuse me of not speaking the truth. I offered evidence that I was. You have countered with none.
And only now, you whine about "charity".
