Does anyone have any thoughts what exactly what kind of game the Vatican is playing with the China and the CCP? I know its not the first time the Vatican has had to deal with a hostile government especially on the question of appointment of Bishops.
There is also a large Catholic underground in China because they don’t recognize the legitimacy of government appointed Bishops. I agree with that entirely. but at the same time I dont believe that the Vatican is making deals with the CCP without some kind of end goal in mind.
I tend to think that the Vatican is playing a long game and is probably hoping to keep the CCP from rounding up Catholics and hoping that over time the population of Catholics in China would grow and get a better deal with the CCP.
