#1 I think the Chinese are right to be very cautious of the Pope, the Catholic Church has a very long history of Nation-Meddling, while denying it loudly at the exact same time it's doing the meddling.

This kinda generates a "Pox on both your houses" thought from me. Seems that for either or both to fail would be a good thing.

#2 The Chinese government will cause Catholicism to grow like kudzu on a Georgia highway with their ham-handed attempts at repression. What the Romans could not do with lions and bonfires the Chinese will not accomplish with denied visas and sternly worded press releases.

#3 China opresses, while most of the last half century Catholicism was one of the major reasons for the collapse of the eastern bloc. Need I remind you of Reagan, Thatcher and John Paul II?

Redneck Jim, you are a bigot to morally equate the Communist China with the Catholic Church as they both now stand. Yes, the Church was imperfect in its past - it is composed of humans who are imperfect by nature. But only an idiot or a bigot would make the statement that you did. You forget pictuer of you in your KKK hood at the end of your post?

#4 I stated the World would gain if both China and Catholic Meddlers were to lose.

Sorry you can't read. Try taking off your Bigot Blinders.

#5 Oldspook, a question, which of the two have a long, gory past history of centuries of opression, murder, intolerance, racial hatred and repression of it's peoples.

Frankly the two seem equaly matched.
