Francis, Pope, who is visiting Mongolia, urges Chinese Catholics to be "good Christians and good citizens". Analysis believes that this remark is the latest attempt for Fang Ji to help the Beijing government.
Agence France -Presse reported that the 86 -year -old Fang Ji Saturday (September 2) in Saint Peter and Paul Cathedral in Ulanbato said to speak to the bishop, priest, and pastoral worker, "I amTo the best wishes to the Chinese people ... For Chinese Catholics, I ask you to be a good Christian and a good citizen. "
Last Saturday (August 26), Fang Ji seemed to send a more obscure message to the believers.He said that governments of various countries "don't have to be afraid" of the blessing of the Catholic Church because it has no political agenda.
Analysis believes that Fang Ji chose to visit Mongolia a more strategic geopolitical goal, which is to thaw relationship with Beijing to realize relationships.
Beijing has always pursued the "Sinicization" policy of religion and tried to eradicate the impact from foreign countries.Although the 2018 and Vatican appointed a milestone agreement on the appointment of the bishop in 2018, Beijing was repeatedly accused of violating the agreement.
Aiming at Fang Ji's obvious goodness to Beijing, Hong Kong Bishop Zhou Wenyao said that the pope's information is "facing the world".He emphasized that the church is really unintentional political, otherwise it will lose credit.
