The Christians of the mid-Qing period were as much subject to anticlerical feelings and action as were Buddhist and Daoist cults. After the anti-missionary edict of 1724, Christian family heads and wandering preachers - the "clerics" of eighteenth-century Christianity - found themselves being targeted as "morally corrupt". In the mental universe of their anti-Christian neighbours, the propagation of celibacy, the nomadic life style of missionaries, alleged acts of black magic and sexual indecency against minors constituted breaches against common morality. For the state officials, Christian clerics were furthermore a potential fifth column of high treason. In contrast with Buddhist millenarianism, however, the Christian "threat" remained wholly imaginary - at least until the re-entry of European missionaries around 1830. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
