The cardinal said that the Vatican’s diplomatic agreement was part of an ongoing dialogue in which he was playing a part. He insisted that the situation was very complex and that observers should not force facts into a “dualistic paradigm.”

“I try,” said Cardinal Chow. “It doesn’t always work; I’m not always successful; but I try.”

The bishop of Hong Kong, Cardinal Stephen Chow SJ, addressed a large crowd in Parramatta on 15 September on the topic of “bridge-building," taking a positive view of engagement with Beijing.

Dignity of every person must be respected and protected

Pope Leo has been consistent in his calls for peace. At last week’s Angelus, the Holy Father expressed his “deepest sympathy to the Palestinian people in Gaza, who continue to live in fear and to survive in unacceptable conditions, forced – once again – from their lands.”

Invoking “the Almighty Lord, who commanded ‘Thou shalt not kill’” and calling “all humanity” to bear witness, Pope Leo declared, “Every human person has an inviolable dignity which must be respected and protected.”

At the Sunday Angelus, Pope Leo thanks Catholic associations committed to solidarity with the people of the Gaza Strip, and renews his heartfelt plea ...
