Sam Brownback Presses Vatican to Change Policy with Chinese Communists

17 May 2021 ROME Sam Brownback, the former U.S. Ambassador-at-Large for International Religious Freedom, has urged the Vatican to rethink its appeasement policy toward the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). “The moral authority of the Vatican is significant,” Brownback told Catholic News Agency (CNA) last week. “You don’t negotiate with evil. You kick it out.” Following the release of the U.S. State Department’s annual report on international religious freedom, Brownback said he hoped the overwhelming data on China’s persecution of people of faith would draw the Vatican’s attention. “I hope they would look at this report and say, ‘this is not a regime we should be negotiating with,’” said Brownback, who served as U.S. Ambassador from 2018 to 2021.

Join Cardinal Bo in praying for China

Join Cardinal Bo in praying for China As the regime in Beijing becomes ever more repressive, never has the need to pray for that great nation been greater Published: May 09, 2021 02:00 AM GMT ▾ Updated: May 09, 2021 09:24 AM GMT Myanmar’s Cardinal Charles Bo embodies inspiring courage, wisdom, excellent timing and a selfless generosity of spirit and ability to see the big picture. Six weeks after his own country was plunged into bloody turmoil following the military coup d’etat on Feb. 1, he issued a call for a Global Week of Prayer for China. One would have understood if he had chosen to focus solely on Myanmar’s crisis, but even as the streets around his residence at Yangon’s St. Mary’s Cathedral resounded with gunfire, he perceived the need for the world to pray not only for Myanmar but for the people and Catholic Church in the big power next door.

Hong Kong Watch Challenges Vatican to Change China Policy

Hong Kong Watch Challenges Vatican to Change China Policy 24 Apr 2021 ROME The founder of Hong Kong Watch is urging the Vatican to overcome its “puzzling” unwillingness to call out China for its egregious human rights violations, Catholic News Agency (CNA) reported Friday. Benedict Rogers, who is also the senior analyst on East Asia for the human rights group Christian Solidarity Worldwide (CSW), said this week that any comment by Pope Francis would be immensely helpful for those being persecuted by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), whether in Hong Kong or on the mainland. “I would say, you don’t have to speak out in a directly political way,” Roger said. “For example, I think it would go a long way if the pope were simply to pray for the Uyghurs, and Christians in China, and the people of Hong Kong, as he does for so many other parts of the world, perhaps during the Sunday Angelus or on some other occasion.”
