They don't understand the reason for the failure of Christianity in China.
1# Christian doctrine in some of the most attractive----"Everyone is equal before God". But this view no much of an attraction in China. Because Chinese is equality of social, not need to achieve equality through faith.
2# European religious identity are high. But China is not the same, religious identity are not high.
3# Chinese traditional culture has matured, most people do not think how great Western civilization.
4# Chinese people historically has always been very suspicious of foreign religions. China has always been a secular state centered around the civic religion of confucian duty to the state. The interest of the foreign religion and interest of the chinese people fundamentally does not align.
So the Vatican needs Chinese people more than Chinese people needs the Vatican.
No, this is wrong, not all are equal before god. The bible specifically states, Jews are favored above all. Why should Chinese worship a racist god?
If god is all powerful, then why does he care that humans worship him, either he is a liar god and not all powerful, or god is actually the devil and wants to control humans, or christianity is BS, and i say the 3rd is most likely.
