More evidence that Xi is moving to a cult of personality.

Hitler did the same thing. Didn’t help hin any.

For that matter, Antiochus Epiphanes replaced the God of Israel in the Temple with Zeus, and sacrificed a pig to him. Didn’t help him any either.

My mother told me that’s what Mussolini did in Italy.

He replaced all the crosses in the classrooms with giant posters of himself. The kids had to sing a fascist anthem to his image every morning.

My mom FREAKED when she saw a video of kids singing an anthem to 0bummer in school.

Coming to a country near you! I suppose they’ll use Obama’s face here.

We have drifted so far away from God, I fear the country deserves what’s coming.

Is this really surprising? Communism is officially atheistic. It’s part of communist ideology. I know China has made free market reforms, but still is a communist totalitarian country.

“Chinese officials have ordered the removal of crosses from churches and have replaced images of Christ and the Virgin Mary with images of President Xi Jinping, according to the report”

And Pope Francis is just fine with that.

At least they are doing so under duress. Churches in the US have done the same thing voluntarily.

If this is true, it likely won't be that much longer till he falls.

I've read articles predicting that the Chinese Communist party will be thrown out of power in 2028 because they will be perceived by the people of China as "Having lost the mandate of Heaven."

I've been very interested in seeing if this prediction comes true or not, and this bit about replacing Crosses with Xi would seem to be a precursor to a fall.

Has Pope Francis the Zeroth done likewise in the Vatican to show his support and obedience?

If this nation doesn't repent, the end result is going to be historically horrible.

I remember when Xi required the Bible to be rewritten to make it more CCP friendly. I first heard about it in December of 2019. My first thought at the time was that the Bible promises a plague upon all those who do this. This was an official act of a recognized Government of billions of people.

I had to wonder in 2020 if Covid-19 began in China the same hour the ink dried on his wicked Godless decree.

How many millions have died since and what evil was loosed upon the Earth.

Pray for the believers in harms way and for all the Christians in China.

Bergolio’s sell-out of the persecuted Chinese Catholics is really paying off. </sarcasm>

There shouldn’t be images of Christ in church, anyway.

Why did Christ leave His image on His burial shroud?

Why did Christ leave His image on His burial shroud?

Because he knew that the love of your sordid little life, Bergoglio, would be coming in the future, and he wanted to leave you a sign to quit the fake pope.
