Attending a Conference on organ donation — in China of all places? That’s right. China is notorious for killing prisoners for their organs. As if Bishop Sorondo does’t know this? It’s a billion dollar business. This bishop, Marcelo Sanchez Sorondo, is the same falsifier who claimed, along with other similar lies, that China provides the best example today for the Church’s social teaching.
