Francis “Satisfied” With China Deal
"The one who carries out this agreement," Francis said, "is Cardinal Parolin who is the best diplomat in the Holy See, a man of high diplomatic standing.”
Francis praised Parolin in the highest tones, “He knows how to move, he is a man of dialogue, and he dialogues with the Chinese authorities.”
"It is going slowly,” Francis said about the appointment of bishops. He called this “the Chinese way, because the Chinese have that sense of time that nobody rushes them."
He stressed that there are different attitudes according to local authorities in China, “But the agreement is good, and I hope it can be renewed in October.”
The agreement simply hands over the appointment of bishops to the atheist state.
