Bishops have been disappeared in China — and the Pope cannot even speak about it. When a reporter asked Pope Leo XIV about Jimmy Lai, the 78-year-old Catholic publisher sentenced to 20 years in prison under Hong Kong's national security law, the Pope stopped and said: "I can't comment on that." Jason Jones of the Vulnerable People Project tells Joe McClane why — the Vatican-China deal, brokered by disgraced Cardinal McCarrick, has a price: bishops disappeared, no religious education for children under 18, and a Church that cannot use its prophetic voice against the CCP. "If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you" (John 15:20). Full interview on the channel.
