CHRISTIANITY IN MODERN CHINA Series Editor: Cindy Yik-yi Chu \"This is an important and timely offering covering significant recent developments that have been brought to center stage of global attention by the truly historic, if surprising and controversial, Vatican-China provisional agreement of September 2018 on the highly sensitive issue of appointing bishops. Essentially consisting of independent essays by respected Chinese and foreign scholars, the book constitutes an original contribution to the field and brings readers up-to-date on the complex situation for Catholics in China during what are dangerous, and stressful times for them.\" -Stephen Uhalley, Professor of History Emeritus, University of Hawaii, USA This book explores the Chinese Catholic Church as a whole as well as focuses on particular aspects of its activities, including diplomacy, politics, leadership, pilgrimage, youths, and non-Chinese Catholics in China. It discusses Sino-Vatican relations and the rationale behind the decisions taken by Pope Francis with regard to the appointment of bishops in China. The book also examines important changes and personalities in the Chinese Church, the Catholic organizations, and the Catholic communities in the Church, offering a key read for researchers and graduate students studying the Chinese Catholic Church, the Church in Asia, and religion in contemporary China.
