Many critics of the Vaticans silence, including bishop emeritus of Hong Kong, Cardinal Joseph Zen, have accused the pope of pandering to mainland China, effectively abandoning Catholics in Hong Kong, and Taiwan.On a late November trip to Thailand and Japan, Francis dispatched telegrams to the heads of state of countries in whose airspace he entered, including Lam of Hong Kong and President Xi Jinping of China, but carefully avoided any reference to the protests. He also faced backlash for referring to the territory of Hong Kong, the people of Taiwan, and the nation of China.

He isn’t a Christian and therefore doesn’t care about the protesters in Hong Kong. He is however, a committed Socialist so he likely wants the protesters completely crushed for daring to challenge government.

Well, the Pope is the Pope, right?
If you’re Catholic, what he says goes.
Otherwise, why be Catholic?

Wasn’t long ago that young Catholic men and women followed Christ’s heed to go forth and teach all nations. Many served their entire lives and often died as missionaries. This Pope has openly disparaged their sacrifices and considers it unseemly that Catholics would propagate the good news. He has in the most shameful manner abandoned the loyal Catholics of China who despite open persecution and personal reprisals held and stayed loyal to their faith. He behaves as a crass agnostic who has no appreciation or understanding of the Church and its mission.
