[Martyrs of Soochow. 1950-1951]

"Letters of postulation 1950 (Cover letters from bishops—addressed to Ignatius Kiong, Bishop of Shanghai)," i.e., Gong Pinmei 龔品梅, 1901-2000. The collection also contains copies (?) of letters sent by Kiong.

Typescript and manuscript letters in French and Latin.

Concerns the martyrdom of António José Henriques 黃安多 (1707-1748), Tristano de Attimis 譚方濟 (1701-1748), and two Chinese catechists.

The letters concern "les quatre glorieuses victimes [qui] ont donné leur vie en haine de la foi au XVIIième [sic] siècle en ce territoire de Soochow...ce sont deux missionnaires de la Compagnie de Jésus, un portugais, P. Antoine Henriques ; un italien, P. François de Attimis et deux catéchistes chinois, Joseph T'ang et Philippe Wang, morts tous les quatre en 1748." (Kiong to Fumasoni-Bionchi [?], March 12, 1951). The canonization of these four, Kiong argues in the letter, would strengthen the resolve of Chinese Catholics in the face of the "graves épreuves qui sont maintenant les nôtres."

Educated by the Jesuits, he joined the Society of Jesus and was ordained priest in 1945 before continuing his studies in Europe. In 1951 he made the dangerous decision to return to the newly established People?s Republic of China. He became one of the many thousands of Roman Catholics who suffered persecution. Convicted of counter-revolutionary activities and treason, he was imprisoned for 27 years and only released in 1982. His subsequent decision to accept the government?s invitation to resume his pri.
