The problem is that this document obliges the priest to accept \u201cthe principle of independence, autonomy and self-administration of the Church in China\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The Holy See says autonomy should mean the normal autonomy of each diocese. This should not be interpreted as separation of the pope and the universal Church.<\/p>\n<p>If the document does not state this, the Holy See proposes that bishops and priests write in a sentence themselves explaining this. If this is not possible, they must at least be able to verbally pronounce it in the presence of a witness.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the agreement signed by the Vatican and China in September 2018 relations remain delicate.
