HK cardinal criticises Vatican-China deal
Updated May 24 2022 - 2:11pm, first published 2:05pm
Hong Kong's Cardinal Joseph Zen - in his first public remarks since he was arrested in a national security case earlier this month - has criticised the Vatican for its "unwise" deal with China that is due for renewal in September.
Zen, a 90-year-old retired Bishop of Hong Kong, is one of the most senior Catholics in Asia.
He spoke at a mass for the Chinese Catholic church almost two weeks after his arrest as part of a national security police probe into foreign collusion over a legal support fund.
Arrested with four other activists, Zen was released on police bail pending any possible formal charges.
The five, who also include singer Denise Ho and former opposition lawmakers Margaret Ng and Cyd Ho, were arrested two weeks ago on suspicion of collusion with foreign forces but were not charged at that time.
"The Vatican may have acted out of good faith but they have made an unwise decision," Zen told a gathering of 300 people at a small neighbourhood church on Hong Kong island.
He earlier prayed for "brothers and sisters who cannot attend the mass in any form tonight - for they have no freedom now".
Zen has long been a critic of the deal first struck in 2018 in a bid to ease a longstanding divide across mainland China between an underground flock loyal to the Vatican and a state-backed official church.

Anon commentary
Remember who was the architect of the Vatican - China deal?
Is it not odd thatViganodid not sing about Uncle Ted McCarrick until 2018?
Is Vigano is a perfect example of Freed/Flipped?
Did Anons even dig on theVig?
Anons bet is Flipped.
For the New Eyes…
Freed is when they were being held hostage and forced to act as the DS wants them to act.
Flipped is when they were willingly participating and helping the DS yet were busted by Q team and will now do as Q team tells them.
Anon does not believe that most anons can begin to imagine all who have been Flipped and forced to act the role they now have to act.
Enjoy!
