Beijing (AsiaNews) - As of Feb. 1, 2020, new administrative measures will be put in place for Chinese religious groups. According to a communication published by Xinhua, published yesterday, they complete the "Regulations on religious affairs" revised two years ago and implemented on February 1, 2018.
The text of the "Administrative measures for religious groups" published by Xinhua consists of six chapters and 41 articles dealing with the organization, functions, offices, supervision, projects and economic administration of communities and groups at both a national and local level. Every aspect of the life of religious communities — from formation, gatherings to annual and daily projects — is subject to approval by the government's religious affairs department.
In addition to widespread control of all community activities, the new measures require religious personnel to support, promote and implement total submission to the Chinese Communist Party among all members of their communities.
Article 5 states that "religious organizations must adhere to the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party, observe the constitution, laws, regulations, ordinances and policies, adhere to the principle of independence and self-government, adhere to the directives on religions in China, implementing the values of socialism ... ."
The only religion allowed is faith in the Chinese Communist Party.Tweet
Article 17 demands even more:
Religious organizations must spread the principles and policies of the Chinese Communist Party, as well as national laws, regulations, rules to religious personnel and religious citizens, educating religious personnel and religious citizens to support the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party, supporting the socialist system, adhering to and following the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics ... .
A Chinese Catholic priest commented: "In practice, your religion no longer matters, if you are Buddhist, or Taoist, or Muslim or Christian: The only religion allowed is faith in the Chinese Communist Party."

[16] By their fruits you shall know them. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? [17] Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit, and the evil tree bringeth forth evil fruit. [18] A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can an evil tree bring forth good fruit. [19] Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit, shall be cut down, and shall be cast into the fire. [20] Wherefore by their fruits you shall know them. Matthew Chapter 7.
Cardinal Zen: Pope Francis is ‘encouraging a schism’ by ‘legitimizing’ China’s Communist-run church
,,, the Pope understands China exceptionally well. What we need to understand is that the UN owns him now.
Antipope Bergoglio has emboldened the marxist-satanists of the CCP.
According to some, the woman who assaulted the pope last night was desperately trying to tell him about the Chinese govt’s religious persecution, including oppressing, torturing and killing people. That might explain his panicked reluctance to listen to her.
