CWN Editor's Note: The bishop of Hong Kong dismissed claims of religious persecution there.
Recalling a journalist’s question during a trip to Australia, Cardinal Stephen Chow, SJ, said that “I don’t perceive any religious persecution here.”
“We can freely attend church, regardless of age; Catholics can run schools in Hong Kong and talk about religion in schools; Caritas Hong Kong offers a variety of services to citizens, many of which are funded by the government,” added Cardinal Chow, appointed Hong Kong’s bishop in 2021.
