Study On The Anti-japanese Activities Of Missionaries Called Vincent Lebbe In China

Since modern times,the Catholic Church has always enjoyed the protection of unequal treaties,and it has been greatly affected by the influence of Western colonialism and racism.In order to eliminate the estrangement and promote the localization of Catholicism in China,missionary Vincent lebbe has changed his missionary methods.In the“old Xikai” incident in Tianjin,Vincent lebbe took practical action against the narrow-minded nationalism that prevailed among foreign missionaries at that time,and was thus excluded.Vincent lebbe,who came to China again in 1927,chose to join Chinese nationality.After the outbreak of the September 18 th Incident,Vincent lebbe actively devoted himself to the war of resistance.In addition to using newspapers,magazines,speeches,and other means to call for people to actively fight the war,he also led Catholics to the front line for medical rescue.After the outbreak of the full-scale anti-Japanese war,Vincent lebbe once again organized a stretcher to serve the Chinese military.Based on the need to combat Japan's aggression and the localization of Catholicism,Vincent lebbe accepted the mission of the National People's Government's Supreme Military Commission,organized the formation of a service group to supervise the people's service in North China,and went to Shanxi,Hebei,Henan,and Shaanxi to carry out activities.The North China field mission led by Vincent lebbe launched a series of activities in Jinnan and Shanxi provinces in southeastern Shanxi,such as social relief,health care,wartime education,customs reform,cultural propaganda,and training of the public.These activities have not only enabled the region to recover to a certain extent,but also effectively mobilized the people to join the flood of the war of resistance.At the same time,they have also further enhanced the image of Catholicism in China and left a deeper impression among the local people.However,the limitations of staffing,funds,supplies,and even theconstraints of traffic factors all affect the effectiveness of the field missions.Looking at the activities of Vincent lebbe in different periods,we can see that he has been promoting the localization process of Catholicism in China and striving to straighten out the relationship between religion and the state.These have the goal of promoting the current religion to further adapt to the socialist society in China.Inspiration and reference.
