"Yin-Yang" Interplay: A Renewed Formation Program for the Catholic
Seminary in China puts the spotlight on the design of a renewed
formation program for the Catholic seminary in China. Without any
renewed formation, transformation becomes pessimistic in the
Chinese Catholic Church (CCC). Though the road marching to
spiritual transformation in China is long and winding, "Yin-Yang"
Interplay offers those who are interested in laboring in this
special vineyard vision a dream, and, more profoundly, hope.
Indeed, this hope is based on the analysis of the political and
religious background of the CCC and the data collected from
twenty-six interviewees, especially the seminarians whose sincere
sharing substantiates the author's academic research and
simultaneously opens a window to the world for understanding the
CCC. On the foundation of theory and experience, the author
suggests a renewed formation program that customizes the special
political and religious situations in China. The program integrates
traditional Confucianism, modern educational theory, and
contemporary Chinese culture in order to foster a seedbed for the
clerical formation of the CCC.
When religious and political leaders debate the question of
establishing diplomatic relations between the Vatican and China,
they frequently misunderstand that religious relation inevitably
intertwines with politics. For instance, the Vatican has to
terminate any diplomatic relation with Taiwan if reconciliation is
to be considered between the Vatican and the Chinese Catholic
Church (CCC). Religious relation, nevertheless, exceeds this
conditional requirement. This book opens a window to globalization
of the CCC, though for its survival, it still has to shelter under
the umbrella of the Beijing government. There is in fact a bridge
to connect the Vatican and the CCC in a religious way, i.e.,
communion and inclusiveness. The ministry of the Chinese Catholic
Spiritual Center, thus, is to create possible channels for mutual
understanding between the two. The author raises a crucial question
whether the Vatican would separate the political management from
religious leadership in order that new hope for reconciling the
Vatican to the CCC through religious communion can be prospected.
