Greetings from Mumbai, India.
It seems that 100,000 Chinese Adults annually convert to Catholicism on the Chinese Mainland.
They are doing this because they are fed up with rampant materialism from Beijing to Shanghai.
The Work of Catholic Catechists on the Chinese Mainland is extremely important in this regard.
Catholic Caucus Ping !
“Catholicism was introduced in China in the Middle Ages by an Italian Jesuit Missionary called “Matteo Ricci”.”
The seventeenth century is now the Middle Ages?

ALL OF THIS IS EXCEEDINGLY INTERESTING. THANKS SO MUCH FOR POSTING!
BTW, Matteo Ricci, one of my heroes, was a Renaissance Man.
Thank you for the update. I am praying daily for the canonization of Cardinal Kung.
