CWN Editor's Note: Taiwan’s President Lai Ching-te has protested the exclusion of his country from world organizations in a letter to Pope Francis.
The Holy See is one of the few world bodies that still maintains diplomatic relations with Taiwan.

Taiwan’s leaders have worked carefully to reinforce ties with the Vatican, leery of the Holy See’s efforts to improve its relations with Beijing.
