on this episode of China uncensored well the pope ever learn
I welcome John censored on Chris Chappell you know the whole world is
always trying to meddle in China's internal affairs always telling them
fix you human rights record or you know create a government ruled by laws
instead of corruption and shady personal relationships
and the pope is the worst he keeps trying to tell the officially
atheists Chinese regime that they are in charge of the Catholic Church in China
gap China has it own Catholic Church it's called the Chinese patriotic
Catholic Association
thats kind heart say with a straight face especially since they're officially
atheist
so basically they've ignored almost two thousand years of Catholic tradition and
insist that they have the sole right
to appoint bishops and determine church matters not the pope for the vatican or
anyone else involved in the actual Catholic Church
it's kinda like how china says they have to approve
any reincarnation so they get to choose the next Dalai Lama when the
current separatist terrorist being leader dies its
best to take what they say with that kraina MSG so
that brings us to Thaddeus mad at Shin I don't think that was named he was born
with
he was a priest in Shanghai's Catholic Church
the Chinese Communist Catholic Church said its Shanghai needed a new bishop
and it's almost impossible to find someone both Beijing and the pocket
agree on
and it seemed like with that a yes they finally found someone but once he was
approved he
want Inc with the Chinese patriotic Catholic Association because you know
it's a joke and was promptly placed under house arrest
well that's what we think happened knowns actually seen in public since
July when this all happened
China has about 10 million catholics and they're divided into two groups
one is forced to listen to sermons by state-owned preachers on topics like
China's former leader Mao Zedong's new life in heaven that
isn't a joke and again members over the Chinese Communist Party are required to
be atheists
now the other group might just get a chance to meet Jesus
a little sooner they're called house christians there any type of Christian
that doesn't want to be associated with the state version of Christianity
because they don't have churches to worship and they have to worship in
their own homes
pretty much in secret otherwise they face harassment imprisonment
and some evidence indicates execution for their organs
not that kind of organs
you know I went to Catholic school for seven years it reminds me or my
sixth-grade religion teacher Miss
thornycroft always used to tell me love your neighbors
unless the question the government then deal with them swiftly and brutally
I think I was mad now thanks for watching this episode of China
uncensored
once again on Chris Chappell see you next time
