The Catholics

Today in class, we discussed Graham Cray. We also moved back to our conversation about Catholocism. It is interesting to see how many Catholic priests/missionaries reached out to distant lands (India, China, for example), biding their time and perfecting new cultural practices, only to find themselves limited by authoritarian structures of the Church and Euro-centric regulations. How frustrating it must have been! One was not allowed to offer the Scriptures in Chinese, for example, simply because the accepted language for reading the text was Latin! More to come later.
