| Summary: | 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. |
