Does Francis Really "Follow the Church in China With Special Attention?" Jan. 31, 2018

                                         10/18/2017 Xi Juanping speaks at the nineteenth                                                                                    Congress of the Chinese Communist Party
                                                                                                                                                                                                            

 Pope Francis "follows the Church in China with special attention" is a quote from what he wrote in a public statement read Jan. 31, 2018.  He said there are those  who "foster confusion about the matter" in apparent reference  to the remarks of Cardinal Zen, Emeritus Bishop of Hong Kong, 88, who had been pleading for help from the Pontiff for the Underground Catholic Church in China, which suffers horrendously from  government persecution.

 Therefore, Pope Francis must be aware of the following points given in the speech of Xi Jianping:

                                                                   Introduction

Insisting on hastening the direction of sinicization of all religions, Secretary JinPing stressed that such a vision be followed by all.  All religions are to follow the leadership of the Communist Party.  This thought of Xi JuanPing is expected to become dogma in the Party. Secretary Xi Juanping's speech lasted three and one half hours and included the following four points, which are summarized.  We Chat Religion  (We Chat Platform)  Oct. 18
                                                                       


                      Summary of Four Points of Sec. General Xi JuanPine


1.  To actively develop Social Democracy, which is fully launched.  To unite the patriotic front with          ethnic and religious work which has been innovated and promoted.

2.   "One Country-Two Systems" - "The unification of the Motherland"  All are to make Socialism             with  Chinese Characteristics  better adhered to

3.   We will fully implement the party's basic guidelines for religious work We will  adhere to the               concept of sinicization of our religion and actively guide religions to adapt to Socialism.

4.   We must prevent and resolutely crack down on various types of infiltration, subversive and                 sabotage activities, violent and terrorist activities, ethnic separatism and religious extremism.

As Pope Francis "follows the Church in China closely" he must be aware of these words and in agreement on the 'principle of sinicization'

Otherwise we would hear words of Papal support for Cardinal Zen, and, the Pope's, and our, suffering brothers and sisters in China.
