Description
Catholicism came to China at the end of the 13th century but disappeared soon with the collapse of the Yuan Dynasty. The real founding of Catholicism in China as a religion was achieved by the famous Italian missionary Matteo Ricci. Respecting the traditional Chinese cultures and customs, he perfectly blended the Catholic and Confucian teachings. At the same time he also brought to China modern western science.
