China dilemma

May 10, 2026

Quinton Amundson’s recent cover story was a sight for the sore eyes of countless Catholics worldwide who can't comprehend the Vatican standing by as the Chinese Communist  government unilaterally appoints its own Bishops and ruthlessly persecutes faithful Catholic Chinese citizens.

Why can’t Pope Leo XIV cannot comment on the unjust imprisonment of Jimmy Lai, a living martyr? I don't think Jesus would be impressed.
