    In 2018 the Vatican and the Communist Party of China signed a deal ostensibly to try and make life easier for Chinese Catholics. Since then though it's been alleged that the Catholic Church has allowed the CCP to take over Catholocism in China for payment, a payment which has also led the Church becoming increasingly subservient to China.

      From what I understand the story was that Christians (not just Catholics) who received welfare benefits from the state would have their welfare cut if they did not remove images of Jesus and have images of Mao up in their homes. This is clearly discrimination and persecution... regardless of how its setup.
      Though I wonder how much trouble one might get in for having an image of Mao wearing Mickey Mouse ears in China? I wonder if it would be just a dark cell without a toilet for a week or if it would be a death labor camp?

For example: I live in Germany, and here the catholic church as an employer is not bound to the same anti-discrimination rules worldy employers are. They're allowed to reject applicants (and even fire people) based on things, worldly employers aren't even allowed to ask. No way China would be able to secure similar exceptions for their activities in Germany.

      It's not the Vatican that pays for those schools and charities, that's paid by donations, taxes and other, so conflating the good people in the church who would do and give to charity even without the catholic church with the cesspool that is the Vatican is laughably incoherent. Matter of fact, since only 10% of the donations to the Vatican itself go to charity instead of PAYING OFF THOSE SEXUAL ABUSE LAWSUITS, it would be leagues better for every one of those donations to go to a different organisation.
      The Vatican does not exist to propagate morality, to help the poor and sick, or to do good in the world. The primary goal of the Vatican is to preserve its own existence and thereby the power of the people in it. I say, let it crumble and burn.

    Though I'm loathe to defend China, my only correction would be that there is less evidence of literal genocide in Xinjiang as there is proof of CULTURAL genocide. The point of the concentration camps is to eradicate the Uighur identity, while keeping their bodies alive to toil in sweatshops under Han masters shouting orders that they now fully understand, due to the mandarin they must learn under threat of torture. Whether or not mass disenfranchisement and enslavement is any less gruesome than mass extermination, I leave up to the reader.

      I'm not entirely certain what people would expect from an agreement between the Catholic Church and a Marxist Leninist State? They are fundamentally at odds with each other, and only one of them has a way to politically enforce their will. I'm doubting that there was any monetary involvement, not because it couldn't happen, but because why would the CCP offer money? They have complete authoritarian control in their country and they can continue to pull apart the Church in their country as they wish, in the same way they seem to be able to carry out Genocide without any response from the rest of the world. I imagine that the Vatican is simply trying to maintain some element of control over the church, in hopes of still reaching their faithful in some way - the alternative is to have what would essentially be a new "protestant" church, similar to the Church of England.

They made things easier by turning a blind eye to the worshipping of ancestors, and were achieving a lot of success. However the Dominican Order, ever jealous of the Jesuits, got the ear of the Pope and moaned about the Jesuits, who then sent a top Cardinal (friendly to the Dominicans) to see what they were up to, and on arrival he got quite angry, condemned the adoration of ancestors and said it was idolatry and upset everybody so much the Chinese Emperor or Emperess said "Enough of this, you can all get lost" and shut down the whole thing, stopping the conversion roll-out dead in it's tracks.

In this video you are picking and mixing the three entities of the Holy See, the Vatican state and the Church (I guess you mean the Latin Church, which is the biggest and richest of the catholic churches?). While the holder of the Holy See is also the sovereign of the Vatican state and the head of the Catholic churches theses should not be confused with each other. I wish I had the time to explain more, just google it (or use other search engines, as you prefer) and, please, don´t just cast a wide net and hope for peoples ignorance - you are better than that.

    Umm what? There are plenty of children going to church in China, at least in Shenzhen. We go to a Roman Catholic Church and there are children in the audience and as altar servers

    “There were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will introduce destructive heresies and even deny the Master who ransomed them, bringing swift destruction on themselves.”

    It seems that about 3/4 this video is hearsay or speculation. I dont think this qualifies as news, more like gossip.

      The only speculative bit is the 2 billion dollars number and even that has a source.

      Probably one of the best researched web-news you can find. If you have a problem or a better and more reliable information source, I'm sure they are happy for you to contact the makers of TLDR.

      The Catholic Church is also the biggest private charity organization in the world. It is important how and from where the Vatican is getting the money, but it should also be taken into consideration where that money goes.
