China''s Church Divided - Bishop Louis Jin and the Post-Mao Catholic Revival

Paul P. Mariani charts China's fraught Catholic revival after the Cultural Revolution, as Catholics loyal to Rome clashed with a state-sanctioned church. Focusing on Shanghai, where the state-appointed Bishop Louis Jin Luxian found himself at odds with underground church leaders, Mariani details a community perilously divided.
