Answer 2

Be careful. There is little or no freedom of religion in China.

The neighborhood Catholic Churches in China are under the authority of the Chinese government, not the Pope.

The Chinese Patriotic Catholic Association is a division of the People's Republic of China's Religious Affairs Bureau to exercise state supervision over mainland China's Catholics. The Communist Party of China wants no organization in mainland China owing allegiance to "foreign influence", in this case, every other Catholic on the planet including the Pope.

Ever since it's creation in the 1950's, the Catholic Church has deplored the attitude and activities of the Association and declared the bishops who participated in consecrating new bishops selected by the Association to be excommunicated.

It is estimated that there are 13 million Catholics in China, 8 million following the underground church still loyal to Rome and 5 million following the officially sanctioned Chinese Catholic Patriotic Association.

With love in Christ.

Cathedrals in China link is below, as are links to the following special sites about China.

A very good link to find out more about the Catholic Church in China: Catholic News Service Special Series "Keeping the Faith in China." If you watch EWTN, Raymond Arroyo has interviewed people who know what is going on with the Church in China on the World He has the audio and downloads at EWTN website.

Answer 4

The city of Ningbo in Zhejiang province has two very lovely Catholic churches that provide Sunday services. If you love the Catholic Church, then pay a visit to Ningbo! One of the churches is over two hundred years old and the other is less then a hundred years old, but is very grand in Architecture! Ningbo is about 5 hours away by bus or train from Shanghai, and only two hours away from Hangzhou. The new bridge will cut the travel time between Shanghai and Ningbo to 2 hours when the bridge is completed. Ningbo has done very well in the economic department, so plenty of fine restaurants, hotels, and shopping!

Answer 5

Where will you be exactly. I'm sure that with a city name, that a few churches will pop up in a search.

Just a couple of notes about Catholicism in China. China is under communist control, the People's Republic of China, and so, they have pretty much banned Catholicism. They do allow state approved churches under the Chinese Catholic Patriotic Association. In these churches, they force people to renounce their belief in the Pope. Those who worship and believe in the Pope, must do so in secret, out of fear of being imprisoned.

I just thought that might be a little bit of helpful information. Have a safe trip!
