    Wasn't one or other of Bill Gates' parents also involved in PP? The apple didn't fall far from the tree.

    I marvel at the bravery of David Daleiden taking on the richest people in the world in defence of the most innocent and vulnerable of all God's children. He ges precious little support from God's representatives on earth who seem to be dazzled by the wealth of PP's supporters but he will be the one with the mansion in Heaven. It takes a special kind of courage to face down such evil - courage that could only come from God's grace.

    The CCP recently issued a text book for use in Chinese schools on ethics which states that Jesus stoned a woman found taken in adultery while admitting that He, Himself is a sinner! Since access to bibles is very limited in China, the students will not be able to check the veracity of a statement that makes the Lord out to be cruel and hypocritical. The Vatican's soon to be renewed agreement with the Red Dragon has made things worse for Christians of all stripes. It was reported before the accord was originally signed that some of the CCP appointed bishops whose appointments were confirmed by the Vatican, were married. I have been unable to verify this but would not be surprised if it were true.

    The matter was first reported by the Union of Catholic Asian News about a textbook published by the Chinese government-run University of Electronic Science and Technology Press. The book is reportedly used to teach “professional ethics and law” in vocational schools.'

    According to UCA News, the Chinese book changes the text to say: “When the crowd disappeared, Jesus stoned the sinner to death saying, ‘I, too, am a sinner. But if the law could only be executed by men without blemish, the law would be dead.’”

    The CCP brutally punish and/or kill without remorse.

    They "can't" allow Jesus to be merciful. He's "got to" be like them.

    Tragic. :cry:

    My heart goes out to Cardinal Zen. An old man with a lifetime of service to the Church he travelled all the way to Rome to plead with the Pope not to appoint a Beijing puppet Bishop of Hong Kong. Cardinal Zen was snubbed. It's so sad . I know that dealing with China must be an awful burden for the Pope, but to completely ignore the Cardinal is very bad form: https://twitter.com/dianemontagna/status/1310225767436038145/photo/1

    But they say all the right things about climate change so that and their population control policy puts them on the fast track to Heaven.

    It breaks my heart. I was praying for Cardinal Zen every day but sort of fell away from it recently. I must start again. May God bless and strengthen him.

    Cardinal Zen accuses Cardinal Parolin of lying (and more) (Parolin claims that Pope Benedict agreed the 'deal', Cardinal Zen says that he did not).

    "I read the speech given by Cardinal Parolin, Secretary of State of His Holiness, in Milan on October 3. [Rorate: in that speech, Cardinal Parolin defended the Vatican's attitude and deal, and the confirmation of the deal, with Communist China.] It was sickening! He is in no way stupid or ignorant, he told a series of lies with open eyes.

    The frustration and pain in the heart of Cardinal Zen is so obvious, engendered by his great love for his own Chinese people! Is this the pain we shall all feel in the not so distant future? Bishops and Cardinals rejecting Mother Church and we enduring the consequences? And so we must stand with Our Lady at the foot of the Cross embracing the pain of her Son's own rejection. May we be so united to the Two Hearts!

    Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; we adore Thee profoundly, and we offer Thee the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Your dearly beloved Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, present in all tabernacles of the world, in reparation for the many outrages, sacrileges, and indifference by which He Himself is offended! By the eternal merits of His Most Sacred Heart, through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, in union with St. Joseph, we beg of Thee the conversion of poor sinners!

    I hope folks at the Vatican have a good excuse as to why they chose to enthusiastically support the most brutal dictatorship on earth when they stand before our Maker.

    And also forced abortions (often [always?] without anesthesia), forced organ harvesting (might take "only" one organ and the victim lives, or might kill for more), etc. :cry:

    These people are suffering tremendously.

    Yes. Even Biden and the Democrats have condemned Beijing in the strongest terms.

    The Vatican’s silence is deafening.

    Come to think of it the Vatican has NOT been silent on China.

    Here is what one of the popes best pals had to say.
