Episode 55:
At what price a pact with China? With Benedict Rogers

The Vatican’s precarious diplomatic relations with Communist China is the core subject of discussion in this fascinating 55th episode of Merely Catholic, the podcast series for the Catholic Herald.

Presenter Dr Gavin Ashenden is joined by Benedict Rogers, a human rights activist and author of The China Nexus: Thirty Years In and Around the Chinese Communist Party’s Tyranny. Rogers, a former Anglican who was received into the Catholic Church in Myanmar a decade ago, is also the co-founder and chief executive of Hong Kong Watch and the Senior Analyst for East Asia at Christian Solidarity Worldwide. He has won two major international awards for his work in defending religious liberty.

The book is available on Amazon or you can order it through Waterstones or any good bookshop, or order directly from the publishers.
