In addition to the two cases that I mentioned there are others. I fear that throughout China there are many priests living the same situation: they have been faithful and have defended their Catholic faith, but suddenly they have been betrayed by Rome. They cannot violate their conscience, but even more they cannot go against their faith. The important thing is that they dont lose their missionary vocation.

Hopefully, I would imagine they would continue to be faithful to God and possibly continue to say Mass even if it is just for themselves. They will be watched closely.

This Pope is an evil plant. It seems we have a serious case of rendering unto Ceasar what is Gods, and that is asking for your soul to be destroyed.

The priest went on to explain that "For more than 30 years I have fought against the Patriotic Association, and now they want me to become the assistant priest of a Patriotic Association priest. I can not accept it, I have no choice but to go home." Hearing these words, I felt indescribable pain in my heart. What can we still say about the Holy See? I still respect the conscience of this brother of mine. He has the right and the moral obligation to obey his faith and his conscience. Make this guy Pope.
