He Pope Francis’s body It will be buried in the Roman Basilica of Santa Maria La Mayor this Saturday. At the time, Jose-Mario Bergoglio’s death remnants They rest under the protection of a Mariana image Catholicism and Asia between Catholicism, Jesus and Relationships – Politics – With Great Identity.
Santa Maria La Mayier and Asia’s Basilica’s icon
This is the Baizantine icon of the virgin Salos Papuli who saves the Roman people. Represent the first recognized Maria Officially, papal grass must be spread and reproduced.
Santa Maria La Mayor’s Basilica’s Virgin icon is a symbol of Catholic efforts to evangelize Asia. In fact, it became a symbol of the epic of the big Jesut trips to the East. To China.
In 1602, Jesus Mission and Sinologist’s father, Matteo Richie, donated a copy of the icon to the Emperor of China. Looking for a step towards the East for the Gospel is one of the best axes of Bergoglio’s phonfigate. According to many audiences, it is his political meaning.
A decentralized convention: European cardinals for the first time are not the majority
Asia has had an impact on recurrence, according to many sectors of “revolutionary”, voting at the Cardinals Conference, Thus assigning a majority that violates an Euro Centric For the Cardinals of the old continent, Gianni Giriveller and the Digital Newspaper newspaper Asia newspaper explains the director of Asia for many decades in the Chinese world.
“Surprisingly, cities like Paris and Milan will not have a cardinal at this conference. For the first time, 23 voters of Asia will represent a total of 135. One for China, Bishop Stephen Chow Chaw-Yan, Hong Kong.
The rate of Asian voters is large compared to the expansion of Catholicism in that region. The only exception is the PhilippinesA deep Catholic nation with a religion derived from the Spanish colonialists.
Without Asia and China, the church treats the marginalized risk
Of the world’s nearly one thousand five hundred million Catholic, Asia refers to ten percent; However, they are more than three percent. However, Asia is already a combined case of human and economic growth The Vatican politics cannot pretend that it is not.
Considering the historical contribution of Asia, Bergoglio’s papal diplomacy thought, The more distant in those areas is necessary as the traditional roots of EuropeAmerica and Africa.
Technology is one of the reasons for the Asia Vatican in the time of Bergoglio. In fact, Francisco was the first pope to attend the summit of G7’s Economic Ministers. This happened in Abulia on June 2024, and it was to talk about artificial intelligence.
Good News, Passport to the world
The final goal of the Geological Revolution of the Cardinals Time College is “spreading the good news. It is not about conversion but simply Send the knowledge of the Gospel to other culturesJust as Jesus did in the seventeenth century, “said Father Giriveller.
A pastoral work aimed at moving the colonial past church of the West: Bring the world to RomeNot vice versa, but certainly helped with its South American background.
The gospel feature is not everything. According to Professor Sylvia Menagasi, Founder of Contemporary China Studies Center: “Pope Francis has a very accurate view of inter -state relations. A vision that is always high in accordance with countries we can call the West we can call the south of the world. ” So the so -called brixSo China too.
Argentina Bondif has embarked on bast year to the Middle East, South Korea, South Korea, the Philippines, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Thailand, Japan, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Indonesia, East Timor and Singapore. Despite political efforts, he did not see two Asian giants India and China.
The Vatican and Beijing do not maintain diplomatic relations. In fact, Holi recognizes Taiwan as Chinese Republic. This is one of the reasons why Pope Francis did not embrace a pastoral journey following the footsteps of his Jesut pioneers. However, it has expressed its condolences to Beijing Francisco’s death, and is reading the opportunity to “sell more government representatives”.

However, Popal Diplomacy had a significant political success with Beijing in 2018, the possibility of the appointment of Chinese Catholic bishops by the Communist regime. Until then, Chinese authorities unilaterally appointed local bishops, Subtracting great credibility from the Catholic Church in the Chinese world. As of 2018, the regime appoints bishop, but the Vatican approves his appointment.
“This deal is certainly a exercise of the ‘Real Polyitic’ Vatican, and in fact, Pope Hong Kong, Makkah, and especially Taiwan Catholics,” says Father Giriveller: “Francisco has elaborated on human and religious rights issues in China And the question of Muslims and Tibetan P ISSS or military threats against Taiwan. “
One may say that the paragraph is worthy of a mass of Beijing. “The Pope often has published the best statements of respect and love on the Chinese people and culture,” Gianni Giriveller concluded.
According to the official statistics provided by the regime, there are about ten million Catholics in China. But Catholic circles say that it is only believers of official religious structures. There are also unofficial Catholic organizations, which are not recognized by every hundred bishops until thirty, instead accepted by the Vatican.

The Chinese China’s ancient tradition (and not only the Communist) is due to the world’s most atheist nation,” said Menagasi, “We will see how Verge will set his impossible policy. Of course, the relationship with China is more linked to Francisco’s person. Therefore, the new pope will see China. “
Although the convention’s organization is partially attached to political and religious orientation The dead George Mario BergoglioIt is unclear how much the political conditions of the world and the political conditions of Europe will allow for a twist in the East, launched by Francisco.
“Of course, the late Pope presented Great importance to political and international relations. Like him in this sense only, in the contemporary era, John Paul II was only for II, ”said Father Giriveller.
