'No Vatican tears for Cardinal Joseph Zen,' Hong Kong columnist writes (South China Morning Post)

“It’s safe to assume the Vatican won’t be shedding too many tears for Cardinal Joseph Zen Ze-kiun,” Alex Lo, a pro-Beijing Hong Kong newspaper columnist, wrote following the prelate’s arrest. “There has been no fiercer critic of the [Vatican-China] compromise arrangement than Zen ... He was not only a thorn in the side of the Hong Kong and central governments, but an even greater embarrassment to the Vatican.”
