Note | Sino-Vatican diplomatic relations : the Vatican relations with both sides of the Strait (1912-1978) / Alexandre Tsung-ming Chen ; translated by Sebastian Hsien-hao Liao. Includes bibliographical references and index The relations between the Vatican and the two regimes each on one side of the Taiwan Strait evolve through ups and downs in close connection with geopolitical and ecclesial developments in the region. The changing relations not only triggered concern from all related parties but also prompted numerous debates in the international media. The growing attention paid to this issue from different individuals, institutions, and governments indicate that the ebb and flow of the relations among the trio actors - PRC, ROC, and the Vatican - have overflown beyond the spiritual sphere and well into the political and diplomatic domains. This situation, resultant from the nature and application of the Holy See’s diplomacy, remains an underexplored subject due to past approaches being often single-dimensioned which shied away from international politics. Integrating the perspective of international politics and the spiritual concerns of the Church, this study focuses on the Sino-Vatican relations from 1912, the year the Republic was founded, through 1978, the year the pontificate of John-Paul I ended. In order to present a fuller and more comprehensive picture than previous studies of how the Vatican and the “Chinese” governments interacted with one another at different stages of this period as well as how other concerned governments and people reacted to contemporary developments, the author combed through official archives in various places, including the Vatican, Taiwan, France, and Belgium, and collected a plethora of material in multiple languages, including Chinese, English, French, Italian, and Latin, that would shed light on the Vatican’s foreign policy. The book aims to analyze the Vatican’s position toward the divided rule in the land called China during that period by highlighting the important topics through accessible vocabulary and unpretentious arguments in hope that it can be of interest both to the general public and scholars in other fields. This study is a rare achievement in Chinese Catholic Studies in that it has combined a global perspective and a microscopic view in investigating the complex dynamic between the Vatican and the different “Chinese” governments, thereby parsing many hitherto underexplored knotty issues. |

Note | Zhong-Fan waijiaoshi : liangan yu Jiaoting guanxi 中梵外交史 : 兩岸與教廷關係 (1912-1978) / Chen Congming zhu 陳聰銘著. Includes bibliographical references (pages 407-432) and index. 教廷與兩岸關係起起落落,始終牽動兩岸政治與天主教會發展,不僅廣泛引起教內外人士關注的眼光,也引發國內外媒體的熱烈討論,顯示出中、臺、梵關係已超越純宗教領域,而呈現出政治外交的外延效應。這種現象實與教廷外交的本質和運作有密切關係,但是一般民眾或學者未必深入瞭解天主教會,也不甚明白教廷外交的傳統與歷史面向。 本書以國際政治的視野,觀察民國建立共和以來至1978年的中梵關係演變,筆者充分運用收集自教廷、台灣、法國和比利時等地官方文獻館之相關中、英、法、義大利和拉丁文等第一手官方文獻和參考資料,研究目的在於使本書內容以客觀、公平的角度論述,充分反映教廷、當地教會、傳教士、中國政府、兩岸政府和相關列強的觀點與立場。本書內容架構以中國肇建共和之後的各階段政局發展為主軸,觀察教廷對中國(包括往後的兩岸政府)政治外交發展、政權分裂和地方教會問題所抱持的立場、因應措施與中梵互動過程。本書內容深入淺出,適合關心此議題的一般社會大眾、不同領域學者和歷史研究者閱讀,是學界中少見的融合中、西方文獻,以教廷外交的角度深入觀察這段期間中國內政外交問題,以及「兩個中國」問題之中國與教廷外交史著作。 第一章 羅馬教廷與中國關係之回顧:外交關係之醞釀期(1912至1933年)037 |
