Taiwan: Will the Holy See Forsake Thee?

Fire of Liberty

Here's an Op/Ed in The Washington Times by Doug Bandow (Cato Institute), which calls for the Holy See to continue to recognize Taiwan as a state and not to cower to China just to make in-roads for Catholicism. The people of Taiwan need the symbolic backing of the Vatican to ensure that its 23 million inhabitants are denied the freedoms that they currently enjoy. If the Vatican truly believes in the preservation of human freedom and the respect for human rights, they should continue to back Taiwan. The World call ill afford the Holy See making a Faustian deal with the PRC.
