Abstract
This chapter consists of seventeen research essays by Anthony E. Clark that were written mostly in China between 2014 and 2019. The overarching theme of this chapter centers on the difficult adjustments of China’s Roman Catholic community after the establishment of the People’s Republic of China in 1949. These essays examine historical matters such as diplomatic (or extra-diplomatic) exchange between Beijing’s party officials and the Vatican, Catholics during the Cultural Revolution, papal responses to China’s religious policies, efforts toward a Sino-Vatican rapprochement, and a consideration of several significant Chinese participants in the modern history of China’s Catholic Church. The final essays in this chapter touch upon the troubled attempts at Sino-Vatican reconciliation in 2018 with the signing of the so-called “China–Vatican Agreement” signed by Pope Francis and party officials in Beijing.
