TAKE ACTION: THE NEXT POPE MUST HAVE A NEW, PRO-FREEDOM CHINA POLICY
The passing of Pope Francis is an opportunity to take stock of both his legacy and the way forward for the Roman Catholic Church under his successor. Since the Pope is a global moral authority, these matters can touch the lives of all of us, not just Catholics or even Christians alone.
That is especially true of policies the late Pope adopted towards the Chinese Communist Party, reflected in four successive versions of a deal the Vatican struck during Francis’ papacy, starting in 2018. While these accords are treated as a state secret, they clearly have undermined Catholics of China, their clergy and churches while empowering the CCP’s dictator, Xi Jinping, to supplant them with Marxist, aethist so-called “patriotic” churches, with him as God.
The Catholic cardinals will be meeting in their Conclave to pick the next Pope starting on May7th. Between now and then, it is imperative that they address this legacy and take corrective action. Specifically, they must Reveal the Deal with the Chinese Communist Party, and then Repeal the Deal.
Our elected representatives can make known on our behalf the views of Americans on these important matters. Please take a moment to ensure yours is aware that you care about religious freedom and want the next leader of the Roman Catholic Church to repudiate actions that have endangered it in Communist China and that threaten, if not corrected, to do so elsewhere – including here – as well.
