The Vatican needs a new strategy for dealing with dictators appeared on www.telegraph.co.uk by The Telegraph.
I have for some time, among others in parliament, called for the Vatican to publish the agreement they reached with President Xi and the Chinese Communist Party. This secret agreement has left many Christians in China being persecuted by the Chinese authorities. Practising Christians have seen their adherents locked up and brutalised, their places of worship smashed up, with little or no comment from the Vatican in support. The same goes for the Uyghur now suffering from genocide in Xinjiang, on that there has been little said. The same in Hong Kong where China has imposed the draconian national security law and is arresting peaceful democracy campaigners.
It would, instead of telling the Ukrainians to surrender, have been good to hear reassuring words from the Pope for Jimmy Lai, now facing a show trial to lock him away for life. Jimmy is an avowed and devout Roman Catholic – a man who bravely chose to stay in Hong Kong and sacrifice his freedom to give heart to all those now locked away in Hong Kong by President Xi’s brutal regime. He is an inspirational figure whom the Catholic Church should and still could embrace.
It is tough for the people in Ukraine as the US fails to deliver the vital aid, and weapons and as Europe is divided about what more it should do. Yet their resolve is clear, from all those I have spoken to in my travels there. They want their country back and they are prepared to die for this cause.
Just imagine what would have happened in 1940 when the UK stood alone. Imagine what we would have felt like if someone had come and told us to seize the white flag of surrender.
The freedom of the West is tied up with Ukraine’s survival. The Holy Father needs to throw his white flag away and instead, hear Ukraine’s simple cry, “help us, don’t abandon us”.
