  • 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). Source: McCarthy Family Collection 1 Peter Fleming, SJ, “Chosen for China: The California Province Jesuits in China 1928–1957: A Case Study in Mission and Culture” (PhD diss., Berkeley Graduate Theological Union, 1987), 21. © koninklijke brill nv, leiden, ���7 | doi ��.��63/9789004345607_009 200 CLARK sitting atop horses or camels, or beside crude huts surrounded by smiling children—Jesuits were often pictured in their long, black cassocks among the natives, or sometimes clad in local attire. 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."

Riforgiato In the nineteenth century the archbishopric of Baltimore held a special position within the American church. As the first diocese and metropolitan see, its archbishop was accorded a position of honor among the hierarchy, despite the fact that by mid century other cities had eclipsed it as centers of American Catholicism. The death of Samuel Eccleston, fifth archbishop of Baltimore on 22 April 1851 set in motion a struggle for the succession to the premier see that reveals much about the divisions among the hierarchy in antebellum America. Archbishop Eccleston's death was not unexpected. He suffered a nervous disorder of sorts in 1843 which caused "hallucinations of persecution." Two years later he was thrown from his carriage and suffered severe head injuries."2 At best Eccieston was never a strong leader.

  • Profile of an Immigrant Bishop: the Early Career of John Hughes
    PROFILE OF AN IMMIGRANT BISHOP: THE EARLY CAREER OF JOHN HUGHES By VINCENT PETER LANNIE* DURING a visit to the United States a foreign Catholic prelat, Dbecame understandably impressed with the high esteem Bishop John Hughes commanded in this country. When he askel an American priest to explain Hughes's extraordinary influence on both Catholics and non-Catholics, the clergyman replied: "I think that it is because he is always game." In a period when manifest destiny was expanding the American frontier, this "game" bishop constantly expended his energies in behalf of his church, his immigrant flock, and his adopted country. As the foremost Catholic leader of his time, Bishop Hughes epitomized the Catholic spirit of his age and represented his church "as its able and heroic champion, as the defender of its faith, as the advocate of its honor."' Although respect for the bishop intensified with the passage of time, few men have ever been sub- jected to the plethora of abuse, scorn, criticism, and misstatement experienced by this churchman. No distortion of his spiritual office was overlooked by his enemies. He was branded as a partisan and unprincipled politician, violator of the hallowed separation of church and state, ravager of the American common school, per- verter of the American democratic heritage and destiny, and the vassal of a degenerate papacy and decadent church. Praised by his friends, reviled by his enemies, respected by all, this leading spokesman of the Catholic Church of Jacksonian America emerged and remained a paradox in a paradoxical age. John Joseph Hughes was born on a small eroded farm at An- naloghan, County Tyrone, Ireland, on June 24, 1797.2 Economic instability and religious disability impelled the growing boy's *Dr.
