Why is the Vatican allowing this?
Chinese police seize bishop who was asked to stand aside by Vatican
Mason Fisher
Justin Myers
This is really disgusting.
Jack Williams
Because they follow heretical beliefs outlined in Vatican Council II. Its bad enough we have to accommodate sodomites and heretics, now the Church bends the knee to literal Communists? The Church is in need of a thorough cleaning.
The cleaning needs to start from the top
Chase Taylor
Because the gates of Hell have triumphed

They shouldn't do 'deals' with child-murdering Church-destroying Communists, and they shouldn't allow Communist-affiliated 'bishops' to become officially recognised bishops

The Protestant trolls are hard at work here today.
Thomas Ortiz
Poor guy. The Bishop at my old church had been arrested and tortured by Vietnamese red police. I hate Communism so much. I wish it didn't exist. Hopefully the Chicoms know better than to make a martyr.
Sebastian Jackson
what, they're going to invade? teach China a lesson with their 135 Swiss Guards?
Aiden Ramirez
in all honesty, they still probably could since china's military is less modernized then my PC from 08.
Andrew Thompson
Yeah but the soldiers would be bogged down in street merchants trying to sell them bootleg children's toys
Justin Miller
Because it is better to let government remove one priest than to get Catholicism banned from China.
Vatican always does things that are better in a long term, even if it means short term suffering.
Eli James
Then why didn't the Catholic Church grant Henry VIII his 'divorce' or allow him to appoint Catholic bishops?
Camden Ramirez
He was a corrupt leader who served his own interests, not that of the Catholic church nor God.
Chase Wilson
Unlike Emperor Xi, murderer of babies?
Cameron Ortiz
Because the Pope is a communist cuck.
Colton Russell
You're not fooling anyone, Baptist.
Matthew Sanchez
I believe they assumed he wouldn't apostatize
Lincoln Myers
Because in the year 1527 Holy Roman Emperor sacked Rome and imprisoned Pope. Pope was afraid that it would happen again if he annulled marriage between English king and HRE emperors aunt.
Asher Walker
classic Rome move
Charles Ross
Surely, as a sin against prudence, that would be suicide and thus, deserving of hell?
Luis Johnson
Martyrdom isn't suicide.
Dominic Morris
Reminder that lying is not a option.
Also, age.
Dominic Murphy
Surely the word is "arrested".
Camden Lee
Kidnapped.
