Greg Burke: Holy See/China agreement has pastoral objective

“This is not the end of a process. It’s the beginning.

This has been about dialogue, patient listening on both sides even when people come from very different standpoints.

The objective of the accord is not political but pastoral, allowing the faithful to have bishops who are in communion with Rome but at the same time recognized by Chinese authorities.”
