For those interested in Christianity in China, the state-church
relationship, and the present Communist regime and its attitude
towards religion, Sino-Vatican Relations offers a wealth of
information and insights. This work traces the tortuous history of
the relationship between the Chinese government and the Roman
Catholic Church, from denunciation of Communism by the Church, to
seeking dialogue by recent pontiffs such as John Paul II, Benedict
XVI and Francis. Besides examining the religious policy of China
since 1949 and how the Chinese government deals with religious
revivals, this work also traces the history of the church regarding
the appointment of bishops in Europe from its early days to modern
times. Monarchies in Europe have always been involved in the
appointment of bishops. Thus, the recent agreement between Pope
Francis and the Chinese authorities regarding the appointment of
bishops has historical precedents. The overall aim of this work is
to help readers to get the right information needed to have a
well-informed opinion on the complex matter of the Sino-Vatican
Relations, particularly on the agreement signed by Pope Francis
with Beijing in 2018.
