When I was a child and living in Puerto Rico, a long time ago that is, there were acerola bushes everywhere. You could find them on the side of the road, by pastures, en el monte, by the beach, and in peoples yards. They are called West Indian Cherries in English. Acerolas are sweet and tart as well. Acerola is a large, relatively fast growing bushy shrub or small tree (to 15 feet). Fruits are round to oblate, cherry-like but with 3 lobes. They are bright red (rarely yellow-orange) with thin skin, easily bruised. The pulp is juicy, acid to sub-acid occasionally nearly sweet, with a delicate flavor and apple notes. The fruit is very high in Vitamin C, up to 4,000 mg per 100 g fresh weight, but typically around 1,500 mg C. Green fruits have twice the Vitamin C level of mature fruits. Fruits develop to maturity in less than 25 days. Seeds typically three with fluted wings, forming a triangle. Many aspects of seed viability have not been studied.

  • September 4, 1951, “The PRC Breaks Off Diplomatic Relations with the Holy See”
    CINAFORUM news e analisi sulla prossima superpotenza http://www.cinaforum.net September 4, 1951, “The PRC breaks off diplomatic relations with the Holy See” Author : chinese-doodles Date : 4 settembre 2014 On September 4, 1951, the Apostolic Nuncio Antonio Riberi, first nuncio of the Catholic Church in China, was expelled from his home in Nanjing, and forced to flee to Taiwan the year after. Assigned to China as apostolic nuncio on July 6, 1946, Antonio Riberi stayed in Nanjing, the capital of the Republic of China ruled by the Kuomintang back then. Following the victory in the Civil War of the Communist Party of China in 1949 and the flight of the exiled Kuomintang in Taiwan, the Vatican City State, in the person of Riberi, refused to recognize the new government and the nuncio was therefore denied permission to move to Beijing, the capital of the newly founded People's Republic of China. In 1950, the Chinese Communist Party, who wanted to establish an “Independent Catholic Church” in China, launched the so-called Three-Self Movement, which stated the self-support, self-governance and self-propagation of the Chinese church. The following year, after a letter to 1 / 3 CINAFORUM news e analisi sulla prossima superpotenza http://www.cinaforum.net the faithful in which Riberi judged the attitude of the Independent Church as “schismatic”, the campaign against the Catholic Church escalated and, on June 26, 1951, the papal nuncio was placed under house arrest in his residence of Nanjing, only to be confined to Hong Kong on September 4, 1951.

  • Religious Freedom Roundtable March 25, 2002 Remarks of Thomas
    Religious Freedom Roundtable March 25, 2002 Remarks of Thomas E. Quigley, U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops Thank you for this opportunity to offer some brief comments on the issue of religious freedom today, especially with reference to the Catholic Church in the People's Republic of China. I'll confine my remarks to several recent developments in China that directly touch on the role of the Catholic Church there. Catholics in China. First, some numbers. Out of well over a billion people, Chinese Catholics number roughly twelve million, with some four million of these in the open or registered Church, roughly eight million in the underground or unregistered Church. The government, of course, doesn't recognize the latter, so official figures have it that there are about 100 million "believers" in the country-less than 1%, surely a gross undercount-of which 4 million, according to the government, are Catholic. The number of Catholics is small, and growing only at a very slow pace, but 12 million is still far larger than the roughly 3 million Catholics before the Communist take over. And as Dick Madsen, one of the best China church-watchers, likes to note, that's a lot more Catholics than there are in Ireland. Sino-American Relations. Let me frame these remarks by several fairly recent events. Last year, 2001, was significant in a couple of ways for the Church in China. Just over a year ago, in April, there was the Hainan Island collision and the downing of the US spy plane, which, coming on the heels of the Belgrade Embassy, plunged Sino-American relations very low indeed.
