Pope Francis has called on Chinese bishops to show respect and loyalty to the ruling Chinese Communist Party as faithful “members of the Chinese people.”

The Vatican newspaper, L’Osservatore Romano, published an article Sunday in Italian, English, and Chinese, saying that the pope has invited “all the Bishops to renew their total adherence to Christ and to the Church.”

At the same time, “as members of the Chinese people, they are obliged to show respect and loyalty to the civil authorities.”

"And whatever you do, don't bring religious freedom into it!"

This reminds me of the time the Vatican set up an underground railroad for Nazi war criminals to escape Europe for South America.

Instead of the Odessa File, it's the Mohammed File.  Ole "Fran" can check notes from Pius the XII on how to set up the underground.

They'll be putting Christians into concentration camps like the Uighurs, maybe even organ harvesting like is alleged to have been done with the Falun Gong.

That's so much better I guess. Apparently, in the late '90s, even a massacre of the Uighurs of hundreds:

What's better? Self-immolating as a rash of Tibetans have done?
