Monday, November 28, 2016There are still difficult issues that are not yet agreed upon,” said the Rev. Jeroom Heyndrickx, the acting director of the Ferdinand Verbiest Institute in Belgium, which studies Catholicism in China.The central dispute is over the power to name new bishops and the fate of existing bishops in China. For the Catholic Church, bishops are divine successors of the apostles, to be appointed by the pope. But China has long insisted on controlling ordinations, arguing that anything else amounts to interference in its internal affairs.Most Chinese bishops are recognized by both the Vatican and the Chinese authorities, but there are several in the state-backed church who are excommunicated and working without papal approval, including some rumored to have broken their vows of chastity and fathered children.There are also more than two dozen underground bishops, many of whom are viewed with suspicion by the government and a few of whom are believed to be in prison.Any deal would have to decide what happens to both groups. “The Vatican can’t be seen as selling out people who have suffered and gone to jail for their faith,” said a Vatican official, who requested anonymity to speak candidly about the secretive talks.There is little doubt of Francis’ enthusiasm for China.In 2014, he sent a greeting to President Xi while flying through Chinese airspace on his way to South Korea. And his encounter with Joseph Xu Honggen, the bishop of Suzhou, in St. Peter’s Square last month was said to be the first public meeting between a pope and a bishop resident in mainland China since the Communist Revolution.“For me, China has always been a reference point of greatness,” the 79-year-old pontiff told an Italian reporter in January.Mr. Xi has repeatedly warned against religion’s being used to undermine Communist rule, and his government has torn down crosses from Protestant churches in eastern China and instituted new controls on worship.But an environmental foundation run by an official with longstanding ties to Mr. Xi attended a Vatican conference in September and presented the pope with a gift heavy with symbolism: a silk drape bearing an inscription from an ancient tablet that records the presence of Christianity in China nearly 1,400 years ago.One benefit of reconciliation for the Chinese government may be that the Vatican eventually decides to establish diplomatic relations with Beijing and cut formal ties with Taiwan, the self-governing island that China considers part of its territory.Already, most bishops appointed by the state-controlled church quietly win the pope’s approval before ordination, or seek and receive papal forgiveness and acceptance afterward. But Beijing sometimes appoints bishops against the Vatican’s wishes, and the Vatican sometimes appoints bishops without Beijing’s approval. In August, Cardinal John Tong, the bishop of Hong Kong, disclosed in a pastoral letter that “the Chinese government is now willing to reach an understanding” on the issue. But he also acknowledged concerns among members of the underground church and their supporters.“They wonder if Vatican officials or the pope himself may go against the principles of the church,” he n...
Monday, October 10, 2016China, India and Asia’s Spice Islands. As American statesman Arthur Goldberg said, “If Columbus had an advisory committee, he would probably still be at the dock.” He finally talked King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain into outfitting him with supplies, men and three ships: the Nina, Pinta and Santa Maria. He set sail in August 1492 equipped with a mariner’s compass, an astrolabe, a quadrant and a 2nd century A.D. map, but he unfortunately left the iPad with map apps on the kitchen table.On Oct. 10, some prankster shouted “Land ho!” That didn’t go over well with Columbus, who sensed the sailors were talking mutiny, murmuring things like “remind me never to sign on again with Dora the Explorer.” He convinced them to sail for three more days and got lucky on Oct. 12 when sailor Rodrigo de Triana shouted “Land ho!” from the deck of the Pinta. “Here we go again,” thought Columbus, but a Bahamian Island actually was on the horizon. Columbus believed he’d reached the coast of Asia and quickly took credit for finding a “New World.” It is rumored an annoyed de Triana jumped ship to set up an off-shore account in the Bahamas.The only holidays generally accepted as paid days off are Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, July Fourth and Labor Day. In addition to holiday pay, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s have lots of perks — great food, entertainment, parties and presents. Woo hoo! It sounds like the fall social season on Florida’s First Coast.ARTISANS, CRAFTERS AND MOREThe Ladies’ Guild of St. John the Baptist Catholic Church, Atlantic Beach, got a jump on holiday shopping with its annual “Artisans, Crafters and More Fair.” More than 25 vendors inside and outside the parish hall sold handmade products, such as quilts, jewelry, pottery, soap, children’s apparel, homespun yarn and holiday wreaths, as well as collars, scarves and other accessories for your favorite pooch. The “And More” included an enticing bake sale, and hungry shoppers bought Filipino lumpia and pancit, hot dogs, breakfast burritos and mac & cheese for lunch. Let me not forget there was a silent auction and hourly drawings.Art projects and face painting entertained youngsters in the “Kids’ Zone,” while performances by Asian Dragon Karate, Sassy Tappers and First Coast Center for Art Dancers entertained everyone. The church Health and Wellness Ministry sponsored a Health Fair offering free blood pressure checks and wellness screenings by Baptist Medical Center Beaches; New Way Hearing performed hearing tests, and Walgreens administered flu shots.This was the fair’s ninth year raising funds to s...
