Cardinal: If the Vatican Capitulates, There Will Be Resistance

Cardinal Zen, “A Huge Disaster for the Church Is Approaching”

I am pretty sure we are already in a Vatican II disaster...

Retired Cardinal Joseph Zen of Hong Kong has warned that the Vatican is selling the Catholics to the Communist Chinese government, writes Asia News.
During a homily on November 10, Zen said that the Vatican is trusting more in diplomacy than in the Faith, “The Holy See is ceaselessly compromising and has even arrived at the point of selling itself out to appease. This is by no means what God expects of the Church.”
Zen said that there is an “evil plan”: The Vatican will ask faithful bishops to resign "in order to leave room for illicit and excommunicated bishops.“ For Zen this will be "a huge disaster for the Church”.

The most senior Chinese Catholic has slammed a potential rapprochement between the Vatican and Beijing, saying it would be “betraying Jesus Christ”, amid a thaw in more than six decades of bitter relations.
Talk of a deal between the two sides has been building for months, with some saying the diplomatic coup for Pope Francis would be resolving the highly controversial issue of allowing China’s Communist government to have a hand in selecting bishops.
But Cardinal Joseph Zen, the 84-year-old former bishop of Hong Kong, has been an outspoken critic, saying any agreement where Beijing would have a hand in approving clergy would be “a surrender”.
