This new Chinese bishop of the Catholic Church was chosen by the Chinese govt and worked in the secretariat of their state-approved Chinese Patriotic Catholic Association as his main resume asset. Pope Francis signed a deal with China which allowed them to pick the bishops for their country (Francis also gets a say, but has rubber stamped all choices thus far, and ceded his ability to name a bishop on his own)….something that had never been done in the 2000 yr history of the Church, and despite the pleading of lifelong Chinese Cardinal Zen who risked his life along with the faithful in China for many years to keep their faith. 88 yr old Zen travelled all the way to the Vatican to meet with Pope Francis who would not meet with him.
Shameful.

Meet the new Pope, same as the old Pope. The left has a stronghold in seminaries and "Catholic" universities.
