Think again

Holy crap - no pun intended - d'you think they really give a shit?

VATICAN CITY - The Vatican declared Thursday that two bishops ordained by China's state-controlled church without papal consent were excommunicated, escalating tensions as the two sides explored preliminary moves toward improving ties.

The Vatican also excommunicated the two bishops who ordained them, citing church law. The Holy See then criticized China for allegedly forcing bishops and priests to participate in "illegitimate" ordinations that "go against their conscience."

They've gone against you in doing the ordinations. What makes you think they'll care if they're not in the formal folds of the church? And I'll bet you in time to come, this same attitude will permeate throughout all of China's dealings with the rest of the world.


Just you wait and see.
