The Vatican’s pact with China’s ‘wolves’
SIR – We the undersigned are writing to express our profound dismay at the Holy See’s recently negotiated “provisional agreement” with the People’s Republic of China.
Whilst the official wording of the agreement has not been released, all the indications are that the officially atheist Chinese government has been given a role in choosing Catholic bishops. Far worse even than this, however, under the presidency of Xi Xinping, China’s Catholics and other minority religious groups, notably the Muslim Uighurs, are enduring the harshest repression for many decades.
