Can anyone decipher this for me?
From Vatican News:
In an interview with the Vatican Media, Cardinal Pietro Parolin offers a perspective on the relations between the Holy See and China regarding the Provisional Agreement that since September 2018, and then extended in 2020 and 2022, regulates appointments and transfers of bishops in the Asian country. He reiterates its "fundamental principle" that must be respected, which is that of "decisions taken in agreement." He describes the complex path in which “obstacles” can undermine “trust and take away positive vitality.” But at the same time, he notes, it is "a rather obligatory path" that beyond the obstacles has its strength in the "reasons for dialogue."

The Vatican is learning what it is like to deal with the Chinese government. They consider themselves larger in population and vastly more wealthy and stronger militarily. The Vatican can have all the converts it wants if it will align with the Chinese government views. Perhaps they held the synod on synods in the wrong country.
Is this quote a case of let thy yeah be nay and thy nay be yeah
