In March, the Vatican-Hong Kong chaplain Monsignor Javier Herrera Corona delivered a stark message to warn local catholic churches, “You will experience the same restrictions as the churches in mainland China in the future. The freedom of religions we have enjoyed will be a page of the past.”
Mexico-born Monsignor Javier Herrera Corona ended his 6-year term in Hong Kong in March and left for Africa for his new post.
Since October 2021, Monsignor Corona held four meetings with different catholic missionary organizations in Hong Kong.
He stated, “Following Communist China’s tightened and stricter controls over Hong Kong, you have to prepare for a tougher future. The change is about to come. So best to be prepared. Hong Kong is not the great Catholic beachhead it once was.”
