The credibility and moral authority of the Church is in serious danger, writes Benedict Rogers

Eight years ago, I wrote an article for the Catholic Herald in which I warned that an agreement between the Vatican and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) would be “a dangerous gamble”. Two years after that article, the Vatican signed its secret agreement with Beijing; the only comfort was that it was a temporary agreement, to be reviewed every two years. Since then my prayers have gone unanswered, and my concerns more than validated.
