Pope Francis said Chinese Catholics will ‘suffer’ under his deal. They are - LifeSite
BEIJING (LifeSiteNews) — As official Congressional reports document China’s continued persecution of the Catholic Church, Pope Francis’ suggestion that Chinese Catholics “will suffer” due to his Sino-Vatican deal appears to remain true.
With the Vatican’s secretive deal with China likely to be renewed in the coming weeks, Chinese Catholics have already spent six years living under the terms of the agreement.

From the earliest days, faithful Catholics in China – namely those resisting to join the schismatic Communist-state approved church – have faced increased persecution due to the Vatican’s deal.
My guess is the most secret part of this secret deal is how much cash the PRC is sending the Vatican. Probably pocket change to the CCP.
