| Sumari: | This document is a pastoral letter dated 19 December 1744, issued by Pope Benedict XIII to Reverend Father Walter, Bishop of Beijing in China, concerning ecclesiastical and missionary responsibilities within the Catholic Church in the region. The letter responds to formal communications and oaths of office submitted by the bishop, including those related to the Apostolic Constitutions and the procedures for episcopal promotion. It addresses concerns regarding the administration of the Sacred Missions in China, particularly the tensions between the Society of Jesus and local religious practices, as well as the perceived dangers of idolatry and the need for strict adherence to Christian doctrine. The text reflects broader debates within the Catholic Church on the compatibility of Christian evangelization with indigenous customs, especially in the context of the Chinese rites controversy. The document also references the role of the Apostolic See in maintaining orthodoxy and the importance of obedience to papal authority. This pastoral letter provides valuable insight into 18th-century ecclesiastical governance, missionary strategy, and the internal dynamics of the Church in colonial and non-Western contexts. Doc.7 |
