From NCR:
Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi criticized Pope Francis’ recently renewed pact with China, telling the National Catholic Reporter in an interview that the Vatican has disregarded the Gospel by permitting the Communist government to meddle with the Roman Catholic Church in China.
The agreement with China gives the Communist government input over the appointment of Catholic bishops in China, a deal that critics say endangers Catholics loyal to Rome who have worshiped in secret for seven decades. “I’m not too happy about that, and I don’t know what they have achieved,” Pelosi said in an interview. “Do you know of any success?”
