"On Sundays hundreds of worshippers come to celebrate early morning mass. Three services are held - there are no spare seats at any of them.
This is the kind of official Christianity that the [government] tolerates.
The rule is simple: if you are loyal to the [government], you can pray and you can worship as much as you like.
The government wants its Christians in the state-approved church where it can see them and control them."

Sounds like just the sort of thing the Conservative Christian Right wants: government approval and sanction of Christianity. Perhaps the rabid "be a conservative Christian or die a heretic" should relocate. Apparently there are places where the government will let, and even encourage you to go be a Christian. Of course, that's only if you be a Good Little Christian and follow the government's worship services.
Oh, yeah, that's if they want to move to China.
Any time a person has to make the government happy, in order to be able to pray and worship, the rest of us should be very, very frightened.
