The Conclave that made Cardinal Robert Prevost Pope Leo XIV was roiled by his predecessor’s betrayal of Catholics and other people of faith in Communist China. 

Pope Francis reportedly agreed to a toxic secret deal with the Chinese Communist Party – and ignored the CCP’s intensified efforts to destroy religion – hoping he’d be allowed to visit the People’s Republic.

Question: Were the cardinals’ votes cast with the knowledge that Prevost had actually visited China “multiple times” and would “gladly” continue Francis’ direction? Or did they only learn it, as we did, eleven days later? 

Saturday is the World Day of Prayer for the Church in China. Pope Leo must answer that prayer by breaking with the Chinese Communists – not continue “the direction” of abandoning the real Church and submitting to their lethal, so-called “patriotic” one.
