Chinese Officials Pressured US Catholic Group to Cancel Critic's Speech

Professor Fenggang Yang alleges CCP officials ordered the US-China Catholic Association to remove him as keynote speaker at a Houston conference due to his criticism of the Vatican-China deal and China's persecution of Christians. This incident illustrates China's transnational repression reaching into Western religious institutions, echoing biblical warnings of persecution and compromised faith communities in the last days. Jesus foretold that believers would be delivered up and hated for His name's sake, and that false shepherds would infiltrate the flock.
