Things of China: Catholic missionary attempts in XVI century China (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789887679738)

The topic of the relationship between China and the Catholic Church is fascinating and also a source of many concerns. The cultural diversity inherent in our being "social animals" often leads to worldviews that are almost irreconcilably in contrast. You may ask, why would a musician like me be concerned with China? Because I have lived in China for more than 8 years, I have taught in Macao and Shanghai, and I have had extensive experience in Hong Kong as well. For more than 20 years, I have been interested in the Chinese world, studying its culture, language, music, and painting. Therefore, I believe I have some minimal credentials to say something about the text you are about to read.
It is a text by Father Sergio Ticozzi, a missionary of PIME who has lived in Hong Kong for more than 50 years and who has already authored important works aimed at understanding the difficult relationship between the Celestial Empire and the Catholic Church. (Aurelio Porfiri)
