They were not all theocratic heirs granted by God, Christ and the apostles, but were appointed or assigned by China. In addition, the Vatican has never authorized or assigned anyone or any clergy to establish this "Chinese Catholic Patriotic Association" in China, so it is not recognized. In secular terms, the Vatican believes that the Chinese Catholic Patriotic Association is an illegal church and has serious copyright problems (piracy). In other words, all the clergy of the Chinese Catholic Patriotic Association have no right to exercise any sacraments. They can worship, but all ceremonies are the same as those without baptism. Except for Father China, he has been sanctified and authorized by the Vatican. ++++++++A reader, Mr. Tao Zengwei, wrote: "The church has never belonged to the state property. Even if Catholicism is a bragging company, the appointment and dismissal of its class cadres should be decided by the company's board of directors, right? Besides, the Bible was not made in China. It is copyrighted, and the right of interpretation is a kind of copyright. In China, infringing others' copyright is a crime. Therefore, Sanzi violated the trademark law from the beginning, because Catholicism has indeed split many times since its establishment, and of course it can stand on its own feet if it doesn't want to follow the canon. Such as Orthodox Church, Puritanism, Protestantism, Mormonism, Christianity and so on. However, divided religions can no longer use Catholic trademarks. Secondly, we can't occupy the Catholic church. Third, you should not use the Catholic Bible. Three-self can completely establish a new religion, such as naming it Notre Dame, and the state will pay for self-built churches and self-compiled bibles, which is in line with the world's commitment. Teacher Tao's questions can be summarized as: 1. Is the trademark Catholicism exclusive to the Vatican? If the mainland recognizes this patent, it can no longer use the name of Catholicism, and it can set up another portal, completely divorced from the Vatican. For example, the reader suggested changing its name to Notre Dame de Paris. In the history of China, branches of Catholicism once entered China, such as Nestorianism in the early Tang Dynasty and Jezsik in the Yuan Dynasty, all of which were transformed, but they failed to survive. Bishop Chen Xilu of Hengshui parish in northern China has rested in peace.
