RE>>If you were responsible for deciding the fate of fetus souls<< If I were responsible for deciding the fate of men I would likely let almost everyone in... I am no HOLY nor God... God is interested in Glorify Himself.. if I glorify myself it is sin because I am a created being and not worthy of any glory at all..

Your question is totally useless because it is Jesus Christ the Righteous who will Judge all men and not me a sinner saved by Grace. Also the quickest road to Idolatry is to judge God by our own thoughts and instincts.. That is why most people here worship an Idol they call "jesus" but fail to accept God as revealed in scripture. Same "mentality" If I were God and being a loving father then...... blah blah blah out pops the Idol :-} Graven Image = Imagination

The report was the latest in a series of criticisms of Beijing. The agency said the oppression was part of a fresh campaign to force Catholics to profess loyalty to the official patriotic church and to sever ties with the Vatican. It said Catholic officials in Hong Kong believed "the Government is carrying out the directives included in a secret document" prepared last August. The document aimed to suppress the underground church or absorb it into the official (cont) scmp.com
