Did the Vatican Fail Christians in China? | Cardinal Zen
My second interview with Cardinal Zen. He's a wealth of information! He's been one of the most outspoken critics of the Vatican's deal with the Chinese Communist Party.

As an atheist, I'm not particularly moved by the appeals and complaints of religious zealots - particularly with regard to the Vatican and whatever the hell is the Papal agenda. However, I think that regardless of one's religious affiliation, the CCP's position on religion is relevant to the extent that it exemplifies yet another instance of suppression of freedom of expression and ideas.
I think the point he is making, is that oppression of other's beliefs is wrong, despite his own reservations about their veracity. I would agree, though I would note that atheism is itself a belief system (that what we can observe currently is the full extent of 'reality').
