    What about all the money the church made off slavery? Probably trillions of you account for interest. What are you going to do about that?

    This is great and long overdue. But the Pope remains silent about modern slavery in China, where the crackdown on the Catholic church and other religions deepens, and he refuses to comment on the conviction of Jimmy Lai, the catholic pro-democracy activist and publisher wrongfully detained in Hong Kong.
