  • The Catholic Church in China: a New Chapter
    The Catholic Church in China: A New Chapter PETER FLEMING SJ with ISMAEL ZULOAGA SJ Throughout the turbulent history of Christianity in China, Christians have never numbered more than one per cent of China's total population, but Christianity has never died in China as many predicted it eventually would. One could argue that Christianity's influence in China has been greater than the proportion of its Christians might warrant. Some have argued that Christianity became strong when Chinese governments were weak: What we seem to be witnessing today in China, however, is a renewal of Christianity under a vital communist regime. That Christianity is in some ways becoming stronger today under a communist regime than it was before the communists is an irony of history which highlights both the promise and the burden of Christianity's presence in China. Today China is no less important in the history of Christianity than she was during Francis Xavier's or Matteo Ricci's time. There are one billion Chinese in China today and 25 million overseas Chinese. These numbers alone tell us of China's influence on and beneficial role for the future and the part that a culturally indigenous Chinese Christianity might play in that future. There is a new look about China today. What does Christianity look like? What has it looked like in the past? The promise and burden of history The Nestorians first brought Christianity to China in the seventh century. The Franciscans John of PIano Carpini and John of Montecorvino followed them in the 13th century.

  • Charles Mccarthy, SJ, and China's Jesuit Mission in Transition
    CHAPTER 7 Adjustment and Advocacy: Charles McCarthy, SJ, and China’s Jesuit Mission in Transition Amanda C. R. Clark Introduction Charles J. McCarthy, SJ (1911–1991), travelled to China “for life,” as was expected of all Jesuit missionaries living abroad in the early twentieth century [figure 7.1]. Commissioned never to abandon his flock and to more closely identify with the people of his mission field, and to adapt to their customs, loves, and be- liefs, the missionary in China took his post until death.1 Catholic publications in the West indulged in an almost propagandistic program of representa- tion, depicting missionaries living in poverty in far-off jungle or desert lands, Figure 7.1 Father Charles J. McCarthy, SJ, and Archbishop Thomas Tien Ken-sin, SVD, in Beijing (1947).

These images fueled the imagination of readers in America and supported a mission-minded culture back home.2 Inspired by those photos of Chinese babies, toddlers, and altar boys, deep devotion to the Church was encouraged that laid the foundation for the future of Catholicism in China. This chapter examines the transition from mission Church to indigenous Church through the pivotal life of the Jesuit China missionary, Charles McCarthy.

Matthew 5:7 Holding up a copy of "Hustler" magazine, former FBI agent William Kelly showed the women, most of whom are grandmothers and mothers, the color photograph of a mock crucifixion of a woman. "The biggest purchasers of these porn magazines are the 12-17 year- olds," Kelly told the audience, many of whom registered surprise at his statement. Pornography was only one of the many topics addressed by more than 200 women who attended the seventh bicnnal conference of the Florida Council of Catholic Women at the Konover Hotel in Miami Beach last week. The women from around the state also listened to experts on migrant labor, pro-life, and family life, during two days of presentations on the theme, "Peace in Today's World." Long-time crusaders against enemies of peace and morality in their Priestly balance dioceses throughout Florida, many of Father Jim Vitucci demonstrates the famous Russian squat dance which all the FCCW members agreed that until they heard a panel of experts talk at the priests learn at the seminary in case they should ever appear on television's conference, they had not been aware of "Dance Fever.'

  • Spiritual Formation Program Is Found in the Rule of Life, Section I
    The more you strive toward Him, the more you exalt Him. He is present to Me who goes out from the world; he is present to Me who thinks of Me, looks on Me, has hope of Me, he whose portion I am. He is present to Me who has been absent to himself, he is present to Me who has denied himself. He is with Me who is not within himself, because he who is in the flesh is not in the spirit. He is with Me who goes out from his own self, he is near Me who has been outside of himself, he is whole to Me who has lost his life on account of Me. -St. Ambrose (c.339-397) 1 Table of Contents Introductory messages ....................................................................................... 3 Sacrament of Reconciliation ............................................................................. 6 Spiritual Direction ............................................................................................. 8 Some ideas on purity and chastity ................................................................... 14 Spiritual Reading ............................................................................................ 16 Lectio Divina .................................................................................................. 25 The Duty of Self Denial .................................................................................. 28 Excerpts of Cardinal Mercier’s Conferences .................................................. 31 The Mount: Cradle of Saints ..........................................................................
