Through @POTUS Biden’s direction of Deferred Enforced Departure, we are offering a safe haven in the United States to those who fear returning to Hong Kong. We stand with the people of Hong Kong and will continue to stand up for the human rights and freedoms they are guaranteed.

Basically the Chinese Communist Party *is* the Catholic Church in China, thanks to the same despicable Pope who’s just suppressed out ancient liturgy. And some people still call this wretched man the ‘Holy Father’. https://t.co/XC2IyPterw

Can someone watch this movie without associating the HKPF with the CCP? Can one accept a "heroic image" of the HKPF in movies? I can't.

Cardinal Zen Being Candid

Speaking with @EpochTimes, @CardJosephZen stated, “I do not know him [Bishop elect, Fr. Chow] very well, but at least the Vatican did not choose the one blessed by Beijing—Fr. Peter Choy Wai-man. For this alone, it is already a good thing.”#HongKong https://t.co/MYCnU8RBmf
