In a story reported today in Breitbart News, the Chinese Communists once again showed their true colors by arresting three Catholic priests and more than a dozen nuns and seminarians last Monday in Baoding, China. They were members of the so-called “underground” Catholic Church based mainly in Baoding which is an area that has some 500,000 faithful Catholics.
According to the story, one of the priests arrested was Father Lu Genjun, the former vicar general of the Baoding diocese, as reported by AsiaNews, the official press agency of the Pontifical Institute for Foreign Missions. The bishop of Baoding, Giacomo Su Zhimin, was abducted by police in 1997 and nothing has been known about his whereabouts since then.
One priest of the underground community of Baoding noted that crackdowns against the underground church have intensified following the renewal of the provisional agreement between China and the Vatican on the naming of bishops, AsiaNews reported. To me, this report is evidence that the Vatican should do some reflection on it’s agreement with Beijing and change it’s policy concerning religious matters with the communist nation accordingly.
Time and time again in world history it has been proven that an appeasement policy will never produce one’s desired outcome.
