Last week, Human Rights Watch – one of the world’s largest and most respected international human rights organisations – released a report revealing the escalating persecution of Catholics in China.
The fact that this report comes from a secular, not a religious, organisation, and one that covers the full range of human rights issues across the globe, ought to make the Vatican sit up and listen. If the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)’s increasing pressure on Catholics in China has caught the attention of Human Rights Watch, it suggests the situation is serious.
