In 2018, the Vatican entered a secretive deal with the Chinese Communist Party. The idea was to make things better for the Chinese Christians that the CCP oppresses. But since then, it's only gotten worse: Bishops disappeared. Priests forced to submit to an officially atheistic government. Worst of all -- Beijing appointing its own loyalist bishops, ignoring the Pope's directions. This dark, secret deal doesn't just compromise Catholics in China, it binds and silences the whole Church. Even Pope Leo himself has nervously refused to comment on it when asked on camera. Pope Leo inherited this deal. But Pope Leo can end it—and make sure it's never renewed.
