Chinese State Newspaper Takes Aim At Catholicism and the Holy See

Just gets worse and worse. I love this line:

Why can't the Chinese pick their own bishops, ideally without the interference of any state, whether local or foreign? Excommunicating them was a medieval tool that has no place in 2011 in China or anywhere.

So what about that imprisioning and kidnapping of Bishops and Priests that fail to go along with the State party that is happening every other day?

See Catholicism should adapt to local conditions

China is not interested in the Catholic Church but just a Church in which she can control.
