So guess what....the Chinese dictatorship wants to pick its Catholic bishops. But isn't the Communist party officially atheist? Why does China want a say over the Catholic religion then? Shouldn't an officially atheist organization wash its hands of religion?
Good for the Vatican, excommunicating these two phony bishops who are just going to be Communist mouthpieces. But the Vatican needs to go further and stop trying to establish ties with such a brutal dictatorship.
Doesn't the Vatican, as the head of the Catholic church value human rights and oppose oppression from ruthless regimes? Then keep your ties with democratic Taiwan and just forget about establishing ties with communist China.
