Vatican Bishop: ‘China Trusts Pope Francis’

ROME — A top Vatican bishop has confirmed Pope Francis’ wish to visit Beijing and establish formal diplomatic ties with the country, as reported Monday in China’s state-run Global Times.

“Pope Francis has love and confidence in China and China trusts Pope Francis,” said Argentine Bishop Marcelo Sanchez Sorondo, chancellor of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, speaking at an organ donation and transplantation conference this weekend in Kunming, Southwest China.

“In this dynamic, the next step is to reach [an agreement on establishing] diplomatic relations,” said Sanchez, while also underscoring the pope’s wish to visit China and to host China’s leaders in the Vatican.

Bishop Sanchez caused a stir in Church circles in 2018 when he gushed about how great life is in Communist China after a visit to the country.

In describing his trip, Sanchez waxed of how he “found an extraordinary China” with an exceptional work ethic, telling a journalist that “at this moment, the Chinese are the ones implementing Catholic social teaching best.”

“Pope Francis has love and confidence in China and China trusts Pope Francis,”

That explains why the Chinese Government is destroying churches and imprisoning Christians and Muslim buddies of the Pope.

That has to be the worst endorsement ever given to a Pope.

Do those teaching include mass imprisonment, abortion up to birth, infanticide, killing of prisoners for organ harvest, no environmental safeguards, and monitoring of every citizen?

Who am I to judge? All I’m willing to say is, birds of a feather flock together.

“Pope Francis has love and confidence in China and China trusts Pope Francis,”

Alas, what can we say about a pope who sees the U.S.A. as the embodiment of all that is wrong with the world and the People’s Republic of Chinas as the embodiment of what is right in the world?

Vade retro, Satana.

Francis must be so proud that authoritarians like and trust him!
