"China Has Deployed 60,000 Soldiers On India's Northern

Washington: China has amassed more than 60,000 troops along the Line of Actual Control with India, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has said as he hit out at Beijing for its "bad behaviour" and the threats it poses to the Quad countries.
The Foreign Ministers from the Indo-Pacific nations known as the Quad group - the US, Japan, India and Australia - met in Tokyo on Tuesday in what was their first in-person talks since the coronavirus pandemic began.
The meeting took place in the backdrop of China's aggressive military behaviour in the Indo-Pacific, South China Sea and along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in eastern Ladakh.
"The Indians are seeing 60,000 Chinese soldiers on their northern border," Mike Pompeo told The Guy Benson Show in an interview on Friday after his return from Tokyo where he attended the second Quad ministerial with his counterparts from India, Japan and Australia.
"I was with my Foreign Minister counterparts from India, Australia, and Japan - a format that we call the Quad, four big democracies, four powerful economies, four nations, each of whom has real risk associated with the threats imposed attempting to be imposed by the Chinese Communist Party. And they see it in their home countries too," he said.

"Time Has Come To Accept That Talks With China Won't Help":
US National Security Adviser On Ladakh
"The time has come to accept that dialogue and agreements will not
persuade or compel the People's Republic of China to change,"
the US National Security Adviser Robert O'Brien said.
All IndiaPress Trust of IndiaUpdated: October 10, 2020 12:45 pm IST
Washington: China has "attempted to seize" control of the Line of Actual Control (LAC) with India "by force" as part of its territorial aggression, US' National Security Adviser has said, underlining that time has come to accept that dialogue and agreements will not persuade Beijing to change.
India and China are locked in a five-month-long tense standoff in eastern Ladakh that has significantly strained relations between New Delhi and Beijing. Both sides have held a series of high-level diplomatic and military talks to resolve the border row. However, no breakthrough has been achieved to end the standoff.
"Chinese Communist Party's territorial aggression is also apparent on its Indian border where China has attempted to seize control of the Line of Actual Control by force," US National Security Adviser Robert O'Brien said in a remark on China early this week in Utah.
China's territorial aggression is also true in the Taiwan Strait where the PLA (People's Liberation Army) Navy and Air Force continue to conduct threatening military drills, Mr O'Brien said.
"Beijing's signature international development programme, One Belt One Road (OBOR), involves impoverished companies taking on opaque and unsustainable Chinese loans to pay Chinese firms employing Chinese labourers to build their infrastructure," he said.
Many of these projects are unnecessary, shoddily built and are "white elephants", the US National Security Adviser said.
"And now these countries' dependence on the Chinese debt leaves their sovereignty eroded and with no choice but to hue to the party's line on UN votes or any other issue that the Chinese Communist Party considers a red line," he said.
Mr O'Brien also noted that China's other international aid efforts include selling surveillance systems and similar tools of repression to "pariah regimes" around the world, including Venezuela's Nicolas Maduro.
"The time has come to accept that dialogue and agreements will not persuade or compel the People's Republic of China to change. There's nothing to be gained from looking the other way or turning the other cheek. We've been doing that for far too long," he said.
Mr O'Brien said the US must stand up to the Chinese and protect the American people.
"We must promote American prosperity, practice peace through strength and advance American influence in the world," he said, adding that under President Donald Trump's leadership that is exactly what the US has done.

China Expert: ‘Right Now Things Are Very, Very Grim for
Our Fellow Believers in China’
Steven Mosher, president of the Population Research Institute,
talks religious freedom under assault.
Joseph Pronechen October 9, 2020
“The walls are indeed closing in on the Chinese people in many ways. And the walls that are closing in the fastest and farthest are the walls that are enclosing believers in China today — Catholics specifically, but not just Catholics. The Chinese Communist Party under Xi Jinping has decided that everyone should worship in the church of China. Everyone should bow before the new leader of the party, Xi Jinping.”
So said Steven Mosher, speaking this week on China and religious freedom under assault, along with other matters.
Mosher, one of America’s leading experts on China and president of the Population Research Institute, spoke at St. Theresa Church in Trumbull, Connecticut, Oct. 5. He was the first American social scientist to visit mainland China in the 1980s.
He detailed how, in 2020, shrines are being torn down or closed and being converted into social “reeducation” centers. In one example he described the Communist Party removing the crucifix and all Christian symbols and putting up a picture of Xi Jinping to tell the people that Xi puts food on the table and provides jobs and housing.
Mosher pointed to the 2018 Vatican-China agreement, a provisional agreement on the appointment of bishops, and argued against it. In 2018 he went to see the Vatican’s secretary of state, Cardinal Pietro Parolin. “I suggested to him it was a very bad idea. Under the current circumstances in China, where the walls are closing in on people of faith and where Catholic churches are being torn down and where Catholic priests are being hunted and imprisoned — in some cases tortured — now is a particularly inauspicious time to sign an agreement with the Communist Party, which, after all, wants to destroy the Church,” Moser told the Oct. 5 audience. “He told me the agreement was ready to sign and they were just waiting for the Chinese side to come over and ink it and then it would become law — at which point I pointed out that every agreement the Chinese Communist Party has ever signed … [was] only to gain an advantage and then violate the agreement before the ink is dry on the paper. I said, ‘They’ll violate the agreement, your Eminence. There’s no question in my mind. That’s their pattern of behavior.’ He suggested he understood …”
“The larger hope of Cardinal Parolin, which he expressed to me, is that this would heal the long-standing division between the underground Church and the ‘patriotic church’ created by the Communist Party,” Mosher said. “It would signal, he said, that the Pope was the head of both. Those were the goals of the Vatican. The Communist Party had very different goals in mind.”
The Vatican agreement “encountered tremendous headwinds right from the beginning,” he said. “It has in fact enabled the Chinese Communist Party to cloak its persecution of Catholics in China by suggesting that some of what happened had been approved by the Vatican.”
He pointed out that under recent rules the control of Catholics in China “has transferred directly to the Chinese Communist Party … which is officially atheistic and wants to stamp out the Church forever.”
The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is currently rewriting the Bible to conform to communism and “socialism with Chinese characteristics.” He added that the entire Book of Revelation is not included because the CCP believes there is no hereafter.

New book examines clergy sexual abuse
in the wide lens of history
Oct 10, 2020 by Thomas P. Doyle
The "Catholic sex abuse crisis" is not a crisis.
A crisis is a temporary period or series of events of an unstable
and dangerous nature. It passes and the original situation is
either better or worse than before.
Violations of the Christian obligation of chastity by clerics have been part of the life and culture of the Christian community since the first century. Throughout the two millennia of church history, the leadership elite — popes, bishops, abbots et al. — have tried in a variety of ways to keep the various violations covered by secrecy. History has shown that their success rate has been inconsistent.
Prior to the 1970s, public knowledge of the Catholic clergy's problems with celibacy had been largely limited to occasional stories of priests who have left the priesthood to marry or who were caught in an illicit relationship with a woman. Wrapping a good Catholic mind around the real possibility of the sexual violation of a child or a young adolescent by a priest was close to impossible in the 1940s, '50s, '60s or even in the post-Second Vatican Council '70s.
The invisible but thick wall of secrecy began to crack in 1984 when revelations of multiple cases of sexual abuse of male children and young adolescent boys surfaced about Thomas Adamson in of the Archdiocese of St. Paul-Minneapolis, Minnesota, and Gilbert Gauthe from the Diocese of Lafayette, Louisiana. The secular media and the civil legal system got involved. The cracks in the wall rapidly spread, and the wall started to crumble. The rest is history, as they say — or is it?
What was surfacing was not a crisis that prayer, papal and episcopal exhortations, policies, programs or even apologies, sincere or not, would or could stop. Instead, a very dark and destructive dimension of the institutional church was revealing itself. The shock and anger of many was accompanied by the demand for answers. The first wave was focused on the perpetrators themselves. The hierarchy, from Pope John Paul II to the local bishops, conjured up excuses but provided no credible reasons why clerics violated children and why bishops were incapable and unwilling to respond in an effective, compassionate and intelligent manner.
The conversation that centered around the reasons why changed significantly in 1992 with the publication of Jason Berry's landmark 1992 book Lead Us Not into Temptation and in 1995 with the publication of Richard Sipe's breakthrough work Sex, Priests and Power and Anson Shupe's groundbreaking sociological study In the Name of All That's Holy. All three authors went beyond the stories of sexual abuse to the real issue, the systemic dimension of what we now know to be a churchwide and timeless phenomenon.
In the space of the next three decades, hundreds of books and scholarly articles appeared, many of which were significant contributions to the comprehensive search for what this phenomenon is all about. Those who tried to minimize the issue, shift the blame or make excuses got no traction. The leadership ranks of the institutional church added nothing of true value to the search, beyond defensive and self-serving pronouncements.
The lens had focused on accounts of sexual predation and on the Catholic and clerical culture of the present era. Hardly any scholars or academics have taken the longer view, looking into the church's history from the primitive church to the early modern period. Sipe, Patrick Wall and I attempted an historic overview with Sex, Priests and Secret Codes (2006) in which we singled out a small number of texts from the fourth through the 17th centuries in our attempt to show a continuity of official church awareness and concern for clergy sexual abuse.
