China Limits All Religious Activities to Official Venues | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

The Chinese Communist Party is announcing new restrictions on religious freedom that will go into effect next month. The crackdown includes limiting all religious activities to official venues and any display of religious symbols must be kept indoors. Senior Correspondent of East and South Asian Affairs at the Global Strat View, Se Hoon Kim, joins to share his reaction to these new measures by the CCP. Se Hoon Kim explains the part of the restrictions related to getting these venues registered and how complicated that process will be. He discusses what the reaction has been from religious groups in the country and those foreign entities that support religious freedoms within China. He tells us if there is any recourse against these laws. China officially recognizes 5 religions, including Catholicism, but then it continually impedes the practice of those religions. Se Hoon Kim tells us what the reason is behind this tactic and why not ban religion altogether so there are clearer guidelines for citizens. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
