	Chinese Patriotic Catholic Association - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		According to Catholic doctrine, the CPA is a schism from the Catholic Church.
		The full Roman Catholic Church, in communion with the Pope, does exist in mainland China, although members are subject to official harassment and persecution, and some leaders have been jailed for what are widely believed to be political reasons.
		Among the novel teachings of the CPA are support for artificial contraception and abortion, and a rejection of the Pope's authority.

		In contrast, the Bishops of the Patriotic Association are not appointed by the Supreme Pontiff.
		Obviously, the continuous refusal of the Patriotic Association to recognize the supreme legislative, executive and judicial authority of the Roman Pontiff prevent it from being in communion with the successor of Peter.
		The accommodation or cooperation with the Patriotic Association from the organizations of the universal church is in effect an endorsement of the Patriotic Association.

		However, the Patriotic Association did not factor in the power of the Holy Spirit and the blood of the martyrs, which is the seed of the Church.
		Since the Patriotic Association is not in communion with the Pope and does not believe in the infallibility of the Pope, it is not a part of the Roman Catholic Church.
		Catholics must be wary of requests from organizations for donations to support projects for the "Chinese Catholic Church" and must determine whether these projects are for the Patriotic Association’s church or the loyal underground Catholic Church.

		Because to be "patriotic" means "to be anti-imperialist and anti-papal", the new name says that a Catholic to be a true Catholic must be "Anti-imperialistic and Anti-papal." Then, to convey its true intent, the correct language should re-write the name CCPA to be "Chinese Catholic Anti-papal Association" (CCAA).
		The nature of the Chinese Catholic Patriotic Association and Church is incompatible with the nature of the Roman Catholic Church.
		The 1992 National Catholic People’sCongress crystallized all the existing religious laws in the new constitution of the Bishops Conference, the Patriotic Association, and the Committee of the Catholic Religious Affairs.

		In view of their commitment to return to serve their Patriotic Association bishops, there is no conclusive evidence that these Patriotic Association priests have made a lifelong conversion of the heart and a lifelong profession of the true Catholic faith.
		Many Catholics who are the recipients of these sacraments from a Patriotic Association priest are totally in the dark, because they do not know the identity of these priests.
		If these Patriotic Association bishops are truly loyal to the Holy Father, as they professed to their overseas benefactors, they must realize that this terrible persecution in China is causing much grief to His Holiness.

		During the ascendancy of the Patriotic Association, the government made frequent overtures to attract the support of Catholics, often blaming previous persecutions on the Red Guards and the Gang of Four.
		The Patriotic Association was erected to confuse Catholics, creating its own bishops and building its own churches in order to weaken the hold of the universal Church.
		In fact, many of the Catholics who have remained loyal to Rome throughout these years of struggle now refuse to accept the authority of the Patriotic bishops who have been recognized by Rome; this is a continuing source of division among Chinese Catholics.

		Noting that 'there have been attempts to break her off from her vital center, which guarantees her catholicity,' the Cardinal clearly distinguishes between the Chinese Catholic Patriotic Association and the Roman Catholic Church in China, thereby clarifying and negating the misconception that these are one and the same Church.
		No authority, institution, or association can arrogate that function to itself.' In these statements, Cardinal Tomko clearly points out the Patriotic Association's lack of authority to appoint bishops and clearly states that those bishops appointed by the government or by Chinese Catholic Patriotic Association CPA are not legitimate pastors of the Roman Catholic Church.
		Currently in many parts of China, the government and the Patriotic Association Church have used great pressure on the underground priests and faithful to join the Patriotic Association Church or be subjected to continuous harassment, intensive surveillance, administrative detention or imprisonment.

		House churches he contrasts with the state-approved and state-controlled congregations affiliated with the Three Self Patriotic Association (the government’s Protestant outfit) and the Catholic Patriotic Association (the government’s Catholic outfit).
		Certain issues still pique each side (the Vatican’s continuing recognition of Taipei as the legitimate government of China, for example), but the Vatican has not excommunicated the priests consecrated by the state Catholic association, and the Communist party, in turn, turns a blind eye when the state-approved clergy quietly pledge their allegiance to Rome.
		These days, the biggest problem that crops up for the Catholics is that occasionally rival power structures exist in the same place: one city might have an underground bishop consecrated in the bad old days of severe oppression in the 1960s and 1970s, and a Catholic Patriotic Association bishop consecrated with the government’s blessing.

		When he was released with six months still to run on that sentence, in 1998, the Clinton administration trumpeted the news as ''further evidence that the president's policy of engagement works.'' The fatuousness of that statement must be especially clear to the bishop from his current jail cell.
		He refuses to submit to Communist atheism or to the control of the Catholic Patriotic Association, an alternative ''church'' created by the regime that does not recognize the primacy of the pope.
