Ferguson continued, "Of course the Vatican wouldn't like the changes, but they would come to accept them in time as a fact of life in Canada."

LOL!

Red China didn't want to change Church doctrine, it only wanted a government veto if the Church appointed bishops it didn't like.

In response, the Vatican told Mao to stick where the sun didn't shine and the Chairman responded by declaring the Catholic Church a criminal organization.

China rounded up and imprisoned, tortured and killed Catholic clergy and believers - even 80 year old Archbishop Kung.

The Vatican still runs the Catholic Church as an illegal underground movement in China rather than submit to Communist rules.

If this Christ-hating lunatic thinks the Church will stand up to Chairman Mao and Joseph Stalin but submit to Paul Martin, he's got another thing coming.

Christ's presence with the Catholic Church, even in the Far East, is irrefutable. Examining Japanese Catholic history proves this fact. Communism in China cannot hold back the Holy Spirit. God cannot ignore the blood of the martyrs--martyr who, like Jesus, beg God, "Forgive them, for they know not what they do."
