Judging by recent events, the party is very close to completing its mission of bringing Christianity under its thumb, he wrote. Although there is nothing I would love more than to become a pastor and preach the gospel in Hong Kong, I will never do so if it means making Jesus subservient to Xi Jinping.
Jesus says, “Not so fast.”
The underground church is far more expansive and potent than the visible church. This would not be an issue to the party unless they have already felt rumblings.
These are the same ChiComs that the “Pope” wants to knuckle under to?
but what about soldiers at their desks right here in the USA or at the Veterans Hospital...or a child in school passing out Christmas cards with a Manger Scene.....or saying Merry Christmas....all things not allowed in the USA.
What's the difference??
And this is what makes China communist. Replacement of religion with the state, and criminalizing anyone who refuses.
The Lord will eventually have the final say on this!!!
...seems to be a lot 'sin-ificating' going on particularly amongst atheists, liberals, socialists and communists in ALL countries!

Images of Jesus?

In act of defiance, perhaps some Christians will cover the image of Christ with an image of a panda (a panda face is a disrespectful reference to Xi, an animal which he resembles).
Xi may want to reconsider how God will respond to Xi exalting himself as a deity.

Wasn’t it our former leader who asked to have the crosses covered before speaking at a Catholic University?
So the pope-a-dope just showed his favor for bishops loyal to the commies, as opposed to ones loyal to the Church. Is there a connection with this news item?
The pope seems to favor communism over Jesus. I’m sure he’s happy that they are replacing images of Jesus with those of a commie.
All the more reason Red China should be isolated and collapsed.
Before doing so, they need to place all the items in a clean trash container - then take them out and replace them with the Chinese dictator....then pile the garbage on...
