With reference to the news published about an alleged discrepancy of thought and action between the Holy Father and his collaborators in the Roman Curia about the Chinese issues, I am able to state the following:
"The Pope is in constant contact with your staff, in particular the Secretariat of State, on Chinese issues, and it is from them informed in a faithful and detailed on the situation of the Catholic Church in China and the steps of the ongoing dialogue between the Holy See and the People's Republic of China, He accompanies a particular way. Desta surprise and regret, therefore, which is to the contrary by the church people and is fueling so confusion and controversy ".
