You really have to make me work for this one. The reason you have found this to be so difficult is threefold. The exsistance of such a text is difficult to find online due to heavy censorship. Then there is question of the veracity of some of the sites; there are "two" Catholic churches in China. The one that is called "Chinese Catholic Patriotic Association" which is a Communist run church that has alot of trappings of the Catholic church and 2) the 'real' Catholic church which has been surpressed and is underground at this time and 3) the exsistance of a text of Chinese to English in regards to Catholic words or dictionary simply is unavailable online.
What I was looking for you was some Roman Missals, in there there are the Latin and the Chinese versions; and very few if any in Chinese/English. However there are books available at stores primarily in Canada and in Western US that carry such books.
You will find little success in a English/Chinese version. Latin and Chinese is more common.
Look for anything with the name "Louis Buglio, S.J." Wrote over 80 volumes in Chinese. Translated the Roman Missal, the Ritual, and the Breviary into Chinese. Now to find this book in print today would be difficult, however there are libraries that deal with old books and they will allow you to look at them the best one online but not most complete is http://beinecke.library.yale.edu/dl_crosscollex/
The very best I could for any Chinese/English Catholic glossary is: http://www.ucanews.com/
Best wishes and good luck!
Edited to 'fix' website address. You may need to cut/paste the 'catholicworld' site as it doesn't go through with the link provided, sorry don't know why!

with out the early Catholic Church, Christianity would have not survived to grow to be what it truly is in the present day. regrettably, as time surpassed, corrupt leaders of the Church fell lower than the impact of Popes who served yet another draw close: avarice. regrettably, you're maximum ideal, the that technique of the Catholic Church isn't a similar and it has struggled to live to inform the tale too many embarrassments led to through clergymen in any respect ranges of the Church Hierarchy.
