About the Book

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.

Review :
Ambrose Mong's excellent book on Sino-Vatican relations discusses the complex encounter between them over the centuries. It covers not only the history of events, but also the lively political and philosophical debate that took place on both sides. Without this background that the book richly provides, it is difficult to understand the twists and turns in Sino-Vatican relations and why there is reason to be hopeful. George Yeo, Member of Vatican's Council for the Economy, Singapore Foreign Minister (2004-2011) Catholics and non-Catholics in China and the West must read Sino-Vatican Relations. Well informed and well documented, Ambrose Mong's book offers a critical but objective evaluation of the Communist and Catholic positions. Positive and negative aspects of both sides are presented in a scholarly fashion. This exceptional book offers all we need and it comes at the right time. Jeroom Heyndrickx, CICM, F. Verbiest Institute, Catholic University, Leuven (Belgium) [Mong] provides a framework for understanding the Vatican-China relationship in its contemporary unfolding which will be of value to anyone wishing to be better informed regarding the possibilities and dangers of the current situation Trish Madigan, Swag winter 2020 The book under review should be read not only by Catholics who care for the Catholic Church in China, but also by all those who are interested in the state-church relationship in China in its case example of Sino-Vatican relations. Zbigniew Weso?owski, "Verbum SVD" 4/2020, pp. 496-500
