Italian newspaper reports of Pope sending personal letter to Chinese President
– To invite him to Vatican?
From a common sense point of view, Vatican’s correspondence sounds extraordinary. As shown in the article below, the sexual abuse scandal has inflicted significant damage on Vatican. If the drug-trafficking scandal comes to the surface, which I picked up on September 17, it would deliver a final blow to it. As the article says, Pope Francis shows cooperative attitude to the Nathaniel camp and supports polycentrism led by BRICS.
Vatican wants to cover up the scandal over
drug trafficking by all means because it would come under massive attack from
the West. On the other hand, the
headquarters of drug money laundering is the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking
Corporation Limited. So I suppose that
Vatican tries to ask Mr. Xi Jinping to give them a little leeway.
The Chinese government has also the Uighur
and Tibet issues and organ trafficking through crackdown on Falun Gong
practitioners could be fatal to the government.
I suppose that both of them probably share the common factor which
enables them to do a deal with each other.
However, it appears that both Mr. Xi Jinping
and Pope Francis never think their systems will last. Pope Francis, in particular, seems to know
when he will die and he wants to finish his life, saving his face to the end.

Italian
newspaper reports of Pope sending personal letter to Chinese President = To
invited him Vatican?
A Italian major newspaper, Corriere della
Sera, reported on 21 that Pope Francis has sent via
unofficial route a personal letter of “invitation to
Vatican”, to President Xi Jinping of China, which Vatican has no
diplomatic relations with.
According to the newspaper, the pope consulted
with Cardinal Secretary of State Pietro Parolin on September 3. The pope sent a personal letter by two
Argentines, his fellow countrymen, through whom the letter was delivered to a
Chinese diplomat.
The pope is said to convey the message: “I’d like to contribute to policymaking in polycentric
world in order to create a better mechanism which will realize social justice.” It appears that under the non-European pope, Vatican has indicated its attitude breaking away from the
conventional “European centralism.”
