中国和梵蒂冈为了“主教任命权”作最后谈判？ 中方回应|梵蒂冈|主教_新闻资讯
[文/观察者网 郭光昊]今年下半年以来，中国和梵蒂冈关系出现改善势头，双方就主教任命权或将达成共识的新闻屡现报端。据路透社7月21日援引梵蒂冈消息人士称，中国和梵蒂冈两方代表预计将在月底前于罗马会晤，就主教任命问题达成共识。这将是双方的最后谈判。对此中国外交部发言人表示，“不掌握有关信息”，但是愿与梵方共同努力，进行建设性对话，推动双方关系改善进程不断取得新进展。
路透社独家消息 双方互相释放善意
作为关系改善的标志，中梵双方将在近期就几个具体问题互相展现善意。
据梵蒂冈消息人士称，其中之一就是：中方准备在年底前至少任命两位新主教，任命将得到教廷的认可。路透社称，一名可靠的消息人士从北京方面也证实了此消息。
中梵关系取得进展的另一项标志是，教廷将会承认4名此前中方独立任命的主教。其中部分人士曾在今年8月中旬梵蒂冈代表赴北京进行破冰访问时参与了会谈。
这四名主教分别是：昆明主教马英林，他同时是中国天主教主教团主席和中国天主教爱国会副主席；承德主教郭金才，他是中国天主教爱国会副主席和中国天主教主教团秘书长；黑龙江主教岳福生，中国天主教爱国会副主席；湖北蒲圻主教涂世华。

主教任命权问题一直是阻碍中梵关系发展的最大障碍。此前，梵蒂冈坚持认为自己拥有主教的任命权。
据观察者网此前报道，今年8月初，香港主教汤汉枢机曾在当地天主教媒体上刊登长文，介绍中国与教廷和解的可能性，当时引发港台及国外媒体的广泛关注。汤汉枢机当时在文中提到，中梵双方愿意就主教任命问题达成谅解，共同寻求双方都可以接受的方案。目标是在不损害梵蒂冈主教任命权的基础上，不让教皇对主教的任命被视为对中国内政的干涉。
他还特别举例了“越南模式”，即当事国（越南）先准备主教候选人名单，梵蒂冈从这个名单中决定人选反馈给当事国确认，最后才由梵蒂冈任命。
方济各教皇的优先事项
路透社称，近期双方能取得一系列进展都得益于教皇方济各的幕后推动。自2013年3月成为教皇以来，方济各教皇就以改善中梵关系为优先事项。路透社在7月曾报道，方济各教皇在2014年造访纽约时，就像与习近平主席会面。在今年4月，他还与中方安排成立联合工作小组商谈主教任命问题。
教皇方济各（资料图） 教皇在10月初接受媒体采访时还表示，梵蒂冈与中国的“关系良好”，“我对中国怀有崇高的敬意”。他指出，梵蒂冈与中国的关系需要得到解决，但这得慢慢来，并强调推进关系不能急进。根据目前路透社掌握的信息，两国建立全面外交关系并不在商讨之列。
官方回应
对于路透社的本次报道，梵蒂冈副发言人帕罗马·加西亚·欧威杰罗（Paloma Garcia Ovejero）表示不予置评。
中国外交部发言人华春莹在10月21日的例行记者会上也回答了相关提问。华春莹表示，“我不掌握有关信息”，但是，“关于中梵关系，我们已多次表明立场。中方对改善中梵关系抱有诚意，并为此作出了不懈努力。目前，双方接触对话的渠道是畅通的、有效的。”
