Report: China’s Underground Christians Feel Betrayed by Vatican Deal with Beijing

Members of China’s Christian community feel betrayed by the Vatican’s negotiations with Beijing over Chinese bishop appointments. In fact, the South China Morning Post (SCMP) writes of Catholics feeling as “betrayed and abandoned” as Jesus on Good Friday.

Christian faith occupies a curious position in Chinese society—frowned upon and distrusted by the Communist elite, but not currently oppressed as savagely as in neighboring North Korea. Some Chinese Catholics belong to churches authorized by the state, but others say those churches are controlled by the state and prefer to worship at “underground” churches free of political influence.

Clue: Being a Christian has nothing to do with worship.
Jesus Christ ended religion.

KATALAGETE = Be Reconciled

That is the only commandment. Be who you are. Tell the truth about WHO was Jesus Christ.
There is no pomp and circumstance.
No religion in Christianity.

Once again the Vatican abandons Christians. WW2 all over again.
