I had a chance years ago of meeting a Catholic from china. He was generally cheerful even though he had a terrible skin disease. He typically thought the chinese government was all good. Back then after all China was doing pretty good. But surprisingly, he expressed his loyalty for the pope, and he even kept a video of the pope presiding over an italian mass. Many Catholics in china are like him: brainwashed to be loyal and patriotic, but nonetheless love the pope. Even though they are without much knowledge and are much more simple minded. Here in Malaysia pilgrims from China regularly visit our churches. We even organised trips to their churches. Now that we are in the internet age, most priests must have known better. We must pray for them because they are trapped in the system, as many do since they live in countries of other religions. Feelings and sentiments pass away, but the Word of God will remain. Trust God's plan for them. As for underground churches, we firmly believe that their own prayers will help them. For there's no such thing as selling out. God gives different challenges to different people and also provided different graces. The underground churches will be rewarded by God for their determination in the face of persecution, but not of their own work, "lest we should boast". Now the old generations have passed away. Now the underground and the controlled shall again be united, and also all Christians of all denominations shall come together again. The time is coming fast, even the chastisement is near. There will be no time for any christian group to quarrel.

We are too American and European centric to know the persecution that’s going on in Africa and Asia. I think most American Catholics don’t care.
Let’s cut a deal with Atheistic Communists - What could go wrong ?
Couldn’t we argue that Francis has abandoned all aspects of Catholicism? Lol.
