China has gained international prestige because of its relations with the Vatican. The Holy See should now seek to obtain more concrete results from its deal with Beijing.

The Vatican and the Chinese government will extend an agreement signed in 2018 regarding the appointment of bishops.

Cardinal Parolin: Every pope, from St. Paul VI to Pope Francis, has tried to resolve what Pope Benedict described as a difficult situation in China.

Vatican officials did not appreciate Secretary Pompeo's public pressure when a meeting was scheduled just two weeks later; some saw the move as political tactic during Donald Trump's campaign for reelection.

This week on “Inside the Vatican,” hosts Colleen Dulle and Gerard O’Connell discuss U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s visit to the Vatican and Cardinal Angelo Becciu's sudden resignation.

The proximity of Pompeo's visit to the U.S. election, was "one of the reasons why the Holy Father is not receiving the secretary of state."
