| VATICAN-USA-CHINA

For the US Secretary of State, religious leaders must be "in permanent opposition to tyrannical regimes". China is the country where religious freedom is most constrained. For the Vatican Secretary of State, at the root of the violations there is "radical subjectivism", which silences believers by accusing them of having "hateful" and "intolerant" positions, because not aligned to the "politically correct". On the side-lines of the symposium on religious freedom, an exchange of accusations: the Vatican is losing "moral authority" in its Agreement with China, Pompey's exploitation of a pre-election visit to Rome and the Pope. Card. Zen was not received by the Pope. The Holy See wants to continue the Agreement.
