From Crux-Debate continues about whether the Vatican’s provisional agreement with China will improve relations between the Chinese state and members of religious groups, which have had a long history of conflict.
The agreement marks the first time in decades that all the Chinese bishops have been in communion with Rome, said the Vatican press office.
A Sept. 27 hearing on Capitol Hill, chaired by Rep. Chris Smith, R-New Jersey, drew attention to the challenges faced by the Chinese government in adapting its stance toward religion in modern times and tensions between China’s lawmakers and many ethnic and religious minorities over past decades.
Smith mentioned the Vatican’s new arrangement with China in his opening address.
“The reports are that this deal is provisional and full details are yet unknown,” said Smith.
