11. Gu Suhua

Gu Suhua writes about the auxiliary Bishop of Shanghai, Ma Daqin and why Christianity and Chinese Catholic Patriotic Association (CCPA) don't mix.

According to Gu Suhua sources in Beijing people are saying he might be under house arrest when in Beijing and when in Vatican City he is sworn to the consecration rites under  Roman Pontiff, Pope Benedict XVI. Gu Suhua in the main article gives a brief outline of when Christianity emerged in China he does not mention the Dynasty but you can look that up on Wikipedia during your studies.

Matteo Ricci an early bilingual catholic priest went to China and spoke to them in their native tongue spreading the word of Christianity.

Chiang Kai-shek was one such Chinese leader who followed what Matteo and valued his linguistic skills.
