A New Pope Must Have a New, Pro-Freedom China Policy
A coalition of Catholics is calling on Church leaders to ‘reveal and repeal’ the ‘appalling’ China deal which allows Chinese communist authorities to appoint bishops within the country.
As the Catholic Church—and the world—mourns the death of Pope Francis, reflects on his legacy, and looks to the future with the election of a new pontiff, the Vatican would do well to review its approach to China.
VATICAN CITY, April 28 (Reuters) – Roman Catholic cardinals will meet in a secret conclave to elect the new leader of the global Church starting from May 7, a senior Vatican source said on Monday. The date was decided during a closed-door meeting of cardinals at the Vatican, the first since the funeral of Pope Francis on Saturday, the source said. The official announcement is due shortly.
