A Chinese Cardinal has urged Pope Francis not to sacrifice underground practitioners of Catholicism in order to make a deal with the communist government.
Cardinal Joseph Zen, the highest-ranking Chinese prelate who previously served as Auxiliary Bishop of Hong Kong, expressed concerns about efforts by Pope Francis to establish diplomatic relations with China.
“We are very much worried because it seems that the Vatican is going to make a very bad agreement with China,” Cardinal Zen said in an interview with LifeSiteNews.
Zen suggested Pope Francis “is really naïve” and “doesn’t know the Chinese communists,” and expressed reservations about the people surrounding him.
“The people around him are not good at all. They have very wrong ideas, and I’m afraid that they may sell out our underground Church,” he said.
Pope Francis has regularly indicated his desire for the Vatican to establish formal diplomatic relations with China, which has thus far refused due to the Vatican’s diplomatic recognition of Taiwan and concerns over the selection process for new bishops.
