The Chinese government is not interested in acknowledging any other power entity outside of the government itself. The Catholic church is seen as a threat to their perceived control of their population.

The vineyards in China are full, but the labourers are few. Let us pray and hope that Catholics, especially in China, are allowed to publicly be able to profess and practice their faith. With 8 million Chinese Catholics worshipping in an underground church in China, the Pope's April intentions for religious freedom in that country are most timely and heaven sent. That the people in China still practice their Catholic faith in an underground church should be a sign to the rest of the world that God is alive and well even in a world that is filled with darkness. Hope is in the air. A new day is rising in China and throughout the world when people of faith will not be persecuted for their religious beliefs. Something very special and miraculous is about to take place in China! Let us pray along with Pope Benedict XVI in the month of April for the freedom from religious persecution in China and throughout the entire world.
