This paper addresses recent debates regarding the Church's decision to establish an agreement with China, focusing on the January 9, 2020 protest by Cardinal Zen, emeritus bishop of Hong Kong, against the provisional agreement between the Vatican and China. The paper delves into the history of evangelization in China, highlighting Matteo Ricci's significant role and the subsequent contentious debates over Chinese rites. It examines the arrival of Vincentian missionaries in China and the challenges faced during the apostolic visit of Cardinal de Tournon, who aimed to implement Roman decisions on Chinese rites. The paper discusses the complex issues of inculturation, highlighting the difficulties in integrating Christian teachings with Chinese cultural practices. It emphasizes the need for respectful dialogue and the careful navigation of cultural differences in missionary work, drawing lessons from historical experiences to guide future evangelization efforts.
