Academic literature on the topic 'Catholic Church Church and state Hong Kong (China)'

The Catholic Church of Hong Kong with its geopolitical proximity has become the gateway or bridge for the contact between Chinese Catholics and the universal church. Due to the transfer of the territory's sovereignty to China in 1997 and the June 1989 massacre in Beijing, Hong Kong Catholics have been going out of their traditional way by involving themselves more intensively in politics. This political behavior has an important bearing on the Sino-Vatican reconciliation which is beginning to take shape after a long, difficult period of pursuit. This article aims at discussing the dual role of the Hong Kong Catholic Church in the triangle relations of China, Hong Kong, and the Vatican.

From June to December of 2019, the normally peaceful streets of Hong Kong were filled with demonstrators and on many occasions with violent clashes between protesters and police. Hong Kong society was rocked by the Anti-Extradition Movement. We will give a brief description of the movement. Then we will describe the ways in which churches and Christians have participated in this movement. Thirdly, we will go into various controversies generated within the churches of Hong Kong. We do not intend to provide practical solutions to those controversies. Our main concern is to demonstrate that the social background of Christians often intertwines with theological convictions and these controversies which create a challenge to the unity of the local churches. KEYWORDS: Hong Kong, China, blue and yellow Christians, Anti-Extradition Movement, church and state, civil disobedience, protest, Christians and violence, police
