Public Lectures on“Chinese Christians in Retrospect”

「回顧基督徒在中國」講座系列

A Narrative of the Chinese Rites Controversy.

Bitter exchanges were traded for years between the Kangxi Emperor and the Pope about the Confucian tradition of honouring the ancestors. The Roman misunderstanding on the meaning of the Chinese rites lead to the final demise of Roman Catholicism in China and the expulsion and persecution of priests and nuns.
