In the Footsteps of the Nazarene: Chinese Catholic Priest
- Published in In the Footsteps of the Nazarene
"In the Footsteps of the Nazarene" presents a Catholic priest who is forced to exercise his ministry in China clandestinely for being faithful to the Holy See. Since the implantation of communism in the country, the Catholic Church has suffered a rupture in its communion with the Holy See. Those who remain faithful to Rome are subjected to re-education camps, vigilance by the government, censures, tortures… Many priests and bishops are arrested, imprisoned or have disappeared. The recognition of the Holy Father as representative of Christ on earth entails a high price for the Christians in China, and this testimony gives us a glimpse into the faithfulness and tenacity with which our Chinese brothers and sisters live their Faith.
