The Cross of Brethren in China

 

                                             Cross of the Church 

This is what your Christian brethren in China are passing through. The walls are increasingly closing in on them. The Chinese Communist Party under President Xi Jinping has decided that everyone should worship in the church of China. Everyone should bow before the new leader of the party, Xi Jinping! 

Our link man in China, Steven Mosher, is reporting serious religious freedom assault, along with other matters.

According to his reports, Holy Shrines are being torn down or closed and converted into social “reeducation” centers. In one example, he described the Communist Party removing the Crucifix and all Christian symbols and putting up a picture of Xi Jinping to tell the people that Xi was the one putting food on the table and providing jobs and housing. Under recent rules the control of Catholics in China has transferred directly to the Chinese Communist Party … which is officially atheistic and wants to stamp out the Church forever.

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is currently rewriting the Bible to conform to communism and socialism with Chinese characteristics. It is being reported that the entire Book of Revelation is not included in the New Testament, because the CCP believes there is no hereafter.

 Mosher had argued against the 2018 Vatican-China provisional agreement on the appointment of bishops. In 2018, after meeting with the Vatican’s secretary of state, Cardinal Pietro Parolin, Mosher said the agreement was a very bad idea. He said to Vatican secretary of state, “Under the current circumstances in China, where the walls are closing in on people of faith and where Catholic churches are being torn down and where Catholic priests are being hunted and imprisoned — in some cases tortured — now is a particularly inauspicious time to sign an agreement with the Communist Party, which, after all, wants to destroy the Church.”

Secretary of state responded by saying that the agreement was ready to be signed and that they were just waiting for the Chinese side to come over and ink it and then it would become law. The argument went back and forth with Mosher pointing out that every agreement the Chinese Communist Party had ever signed … was only to gain an advantage and then violate the agreement before the ink is dry on the paper, and that they’ll violate the agreement, your Eminence. There’s no question in my mind. That’s their pattern of behavior. 

The larger hope of Cardinal Parolin, which he expressed to me,” Mosher reports, “is that this would heal the long-standing division between the underground Church and the ‘patriotic church’ created by the Communist Party, and that it would signal that the Pope was the head of both. Those were the goals of the Vatican.” But I know the Communist Party had very different goals in mind.

 The Vatican has announced recently that it is keenly monitoring developments in China whether or not to extend the provisional agreement.

Added to this, there is a new high-tech cultural revolution underway in China, which is not quite obvious yet, but it requires everybody in China to have a Xi Jinping app on their mobile phone. It also requires citizens every day to open the app and study the works of Xi Jinping for 30 minutes and take a mandatory test to make sure the “lesson” was completed. If the questions are not answered correctly, people have to continue until they get it right. This is brainwashing the Chinese people!

 The ultimate goal of the United Front Department of the Chinese Communist Party, which now has control of all religious faiths in China, is to infiltrate these organizations to co-opt them for party ideological purposes and ultimately to destroy them from the inside out.

Mosher is raising global alarm of dangers posed by Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to the Church in China. “We know that God is ultimately in control. We know that this battle which I just described is also going on in the supernatural. We know that we’ll win in the end. But right now things are very, very grim for our fellow believers in China. We must pray for them and do all we can to help them,” Mosher said.
