The Latest Vatican-China Development
Vatican Press Office announces a ‘Provisional Agreement’ between China and the Holy See, the beginning of a process, says Greg Burke
The Provisional Agreement concerns the appointment of bishops. The Global Times today cited China’s Foreign Ministry, which denied the presence in Beijing of a Vatican delegation. China’s leadership appears divided on the matter. The goal of this “accord is not political but pastoral”.
The excommunication of seven illegitimate bishops lifted, the new Diocese of Chengde established for Mgr Guo Jincai
Card Parolin on the importance of the agreement between China and the Holy See on the appointment of bishops
China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs unaware of any visiting Vatican delegation by Wang Zhicheng
Card Pietro Parolin also appears to have distanced himself from any imminent agreement on episcopal appointments. Mgr Marcelo Sánchez Sorondo, Chancellor of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, praises China, calling it an influential power that respects human dignity and the planet. For him, the critics of the Sino-Vatican agreement are "a little minority", loud “but there are not very many of them.”
Card Zen on the China-Vatican agreement: Saying nothing in many words by Card. Joseph Zen Ze-kiun
Cdl. Zen calls for Vatican secretary of state Parolin to ‘resign’ over ‘betrayal’ in China deal
Provisional agreement between China and Holy See raises many questions, highlights tensions by Christopher R. Altieri
The central question is whether the Church can trust this Chinese government, and whether Chinese Catholics can trust this Papal administration not to give away the store.
