China Moving Toward
Religious Tolerance?
ROME (NC) - The
reopening of a second
church in central Beijing
(Peking) on Christmas Eve
1980 marks another step
in China’s road toward
complete religious
tolerance, said Archbishop
Michael Fu Tienshan of
Beijing in an interview
with an Italian newspaper.
In the pre-Christmas
interview with Corriere
della Sera, a Milan-based
daily, the archbishop
spoke at length about
conditions in the Chinese
church after the end of the
“cultural revolution,”
which was marked by
religious persecution.
The archbishop said the
18th-century St. Joseph’s
Church in Beijing was to
reopen with a sung
Christmas Eve Mass in
Latin. During the cultural
revolution the church was
used as a department store
for textile products.
It is the second church
to reopen in Beijing and
about the 15th in the
country, he said.
About 1,400 to 1,500
people have been
attending Sunday services
at the Beijing cathedral
and about 100 attend
daily Mas ses, the
archbishop said. Several
other churches are being
restored and a seminary is
expected to reopen soon
in Beijing, he added.
But the Catholic
Church still faces problems
in China, including the
status of Archbishop Fu
himself. Ordained a bishop
in 1979 after “election”
by the state-approved
National Patriotic Church,
the archbishop is not
recognized as a bishop by
the Vatican.
In the interview with
Corriere della Sera,
Archbishop Fu said the
communist government of
China could not normalize
diplomatic relations with
the Holy See until the
Holy See breaks relations
with Taiwan and agrees to
allow the Patriotic Church
to elect its own bishops.
“These things alone are
equally important,” he
said. “It is up to the
Vatican to take a concrete
step.”
Archbishop Fu said the
Catholic Church in China
has more than 30 bishops
and more than 100 priests.
In the past year there have
been about 100 rites of
anointing the sick, about
the same number of
baptisms and about 30
marriages in Catholic
churches.
Despite claims by some
that the National Patriotic
Church is funded by the
Chinese government, the
archbishop said the church
is financed by the
offerings of parishioners.
Each priest earns about 30
to 50 yuan ($20 to $35) a
month, about the same as
the average Chinese
worker, he said.
Archbishop Fu said
most church-going Chinese
Catholics come from
traditionally Catholic
families, but some young
members of the church do
not have Catholic parents.
“Above all, I would say
that there is not so much
an increase in conversions
as a greater certainty of
religious freedom,” he
said. “The era of
persecutions led by the
‘gang of four’ is over and
the people are no longer
afraid to profess their
faith.”
The archbishop said
Masses in China would
continue to be celebrated
in Latin because “the Mass
in Latin has thousand
-year-old roots. A change
would risk being
misunderstood.”

Community Of
The Catacombs”
BY NANCY FRAZIER
VATICAN CITY (NC) -- In a direct challenge to the
Soviet government, the Ukrainian-Rite Catholic bishops
publicly acknowledged the existence of a clandestine
Catholic Church in the Soviet Union and praised
Ukrainian Catholics for their “martyrdom.”
The bishops made the comments in a joint pastoral
letter approved at their Nov. 25-Dec. 2 synod in Vatican
City.
A summary of the letter was released Dec. 19 at the
Vatican. The full text of the Ukranian-language letter is
to be made public in early January.
According to the summary, the letter was written to
give Ukrainian-Rite Catholics “a paternal word »f comfort
in their suffering and persecution, which continue
ruthlessly up to now, emphasizing the great benefits to
the universal church of their martyrdom.”
Referring to Catholics living in the Ukraine, the
bishops called the group a “Christian community of the
catacombs” and said that “ecclesial discipline” is of key
importance.
“You have among you your pastors, who in the name
of Christ and as his vicars announce the divine word to
you and bless you with the holy sacraments in houses, in
hiding, and at the risk of their lives,” the letter said.
“Pray for your pastors and priests, obey them as if
they were Christ himself,” it added. “Help them. Guard
them from lying people who follow them around to
denounce them for unlikely things in order to defame
them and damage them.”
The bishops said there were signs of hope for the
Ukrainian-Rite church especially among its young people.
“The new generations, which the atheistic regime seeks
to educate in lies and hate, will find Christ and the divine
truth in the church with its example and the warmth of
your love,” the letter said.
The bishops called on Catholics to be understanding
and compassionate toward those in the Soviet Union who
were “forced by the civil powers to adhere to the (Russian
Orthodox) Patriarchate of Moscow, abandoning the
Catholic Church.”
“We urge you, dear brothers and sisters, to have great
understanding and compassion toward all these, who gave
in under threats and violence . . .and to help them to rise
again, to live their faith,” the letter said.
The Ukrainian-Rite leaders praised Pope John Paul II
for his actions on behalf of the self-governance of the
Ukrainian-Rite church.
In a footnote to the summary, the bishops said their
letter was written “after a deep examination of their
actual situation, based on confidential documents in their
possession.”
They also said the letter was intended to achieve “the
restitution of the juridical status of the Ukrainian Catholic
Church in the Soviet Union,” which was disbanded by the
Soviet government in 1946.
Ukrainian-Rite Bishop Andrew Sapelak of Buenos
Aires, Argentina, said the letter was not intended as a
rejection of the Vatican’s Ostpolitik, the policy developed
under the late Pope Paul VI for dealings with the
communist regimes of Eastern Europe.
“The Vatican’s Ostpolitik is not in itself negative,” the
bishop said.
We would like to see it continue, but we also ask for
the recognition of the Urkrainian church,” he added.
“Dialogue cannot be based only on good will, but must be
also accompanied by facts.”
