This is why Anglicans need to be careful borrowing wholesale from the Catholic Church. There is some great traditions, and some real poison in Vatican II church doctrine. I even ran into de Chardin in an Episcopalian book on discernment. The Church must discern when it borrows, otherwise we will get away from Christ and the Bible, and thusly stop being a church.
Christianity Attacked in China
China goes after Christians more and more often lately. Their hands off approach to unofficial and non party churches has been policy since the 1990s. It should be an obvious aside, but before that the Communists made it their full time job to kill, exile, and forcefully convert Christians. Now under President Xi, China is returning to classic isolationist East Asian policy. The Koreans in the last dynasty (Choson 1390s-1910) and Japan (Tokugawa 1600-1868) who both expelled and killed Christians because they fundamentally subvert the system. The Bible and Christ's message is subversive. Remember this in an age where materialist-progressiveness is rising in the West. Pray.
