Commentary on Papal Letter to China, July 07, 2007
-
Currently available:
Special China
Issue (July/August 2007) of The Atlantic, Volume 300,
No. 1 including an extensive interview with Bishop Aloysius Jin
Luxian, S.J., of the Shanghai Catholic Diocese recounting, in
heretofore unpublished detail, his 50 year struggle to shepherd the
Chinese Catholic Church through decades of persecution and
suppression, until it's re-emergence as a dynamic and flourishing
Church for 21st century China. Along with other major Faith
traditions, Catholicism in China today is poised to make a
significant contribution to the spiritual well-being of the Chinese
people, in their quest for religious meaning and renewed life
purpose in the midst of a rapidly modernizing and dominantly
materialistic society.
[Subscribers to
The Atlantic can also access equally interesting supplemental
material in the on-line edition of this periodical: a detailed
interview with the Author, Adam Minter; and a synoptic piece
entitled The Cross and The Star: citing articles from The
Atlantic’s archives illuminating the history of China’s complex
relationship with Christianity.]
