Catholicism in Modern Day China
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 6 page paper discussing the political and religious issues involved in Catholicism in modern day China. Although the Catholic religion has been a part of Chinese life for the past 400 years, the last 50 years has seen a political division in the Church because of the 1949 Communist victory. The Communist government created the “official” Catholic Church in China which essentially divided the Church into two groups: those who followed the Chinese official Catholic Church and those who followed the Vatican who had to go underground to practice their beliefs. Since that time, the Vatican, Beijing and the followers of the Catholic faith in China have undergone a tumultuous journey on the path to reconciliation and normalization.
