The history of the catholic church in China reaches back to the year 1307, when Khanbaliq archdiocese, today's Beijing, was erected. After the diocese's falldown in 1483 it lasted up to 1690 respective 1660, that Portugal established the dioceses of Peking and Nanking. From 1840 onwards the Holy See founded apostolic vicariates in Tibet and in Mongolia. To contain Portugal's influence, Pius IX abolished Peking as well as Nanking diocese in 1856 and substituted them with an increasing number of apostolic vicariates, which were administered by missionaries of numerous religious orders and many different home countries. It lasted up to Pius XII on April 11, 1946, to establish the regular hierarchy by rising the vicariates to dioceses. In the 1920s the first contemporary Chinese born bishops were consecrated, and Thomas Tian Gengxin became the first Chinese cardinal in the consistory of 1946, but the church remained under the overwhelming influence of external missionaries. After proclaiming the People's Republic of China in 1949, missionary activities were forbidden; external members of religious orders were - often after several years of imprisonment - deported, and also the Chinese born clergy often was not able to obey the pastoral duties. Therefore, in fact most dioceses and apostolic prefectures became vacant. In 1951, Anton Pott, S. V. D., of Xinyang was the last missionary bishop to be appointed, but he never was able to be consecrated and left for Taiwan. In 1952, Pius XII elected with Joseph Wang Cizhang, O. F. M., of Hengyang the last official bishop possible, while Humilis Yang Guang-qi of Yuci, who was appointed in 1955, was not able to be consecrated any more. Because of this desperate situation, which was intensified by the fact the government forbid the few remaing Chinese bishops, who were able to do their restricted service, any contact to "foreign powers", i. e. the Vatican, some of them decided to consecrate new bishops without approval of the Holy See to allow a religious survival. With Li De-hua on March 7, 1958, a long consecration line without papal mandate started. Archbishop Pi Shu-shi, who consecrated at least twenty-six prelates, was considered excommunicated therefore for several years. These consecrations ended in 1963 due to increasing governmental pressure. Free religious life diminished completely during the years of cultural revolution from 1966 up to Mao's death in 1976, and a lot of bishops, priests and lay people were imprisoned or lost their life.
Michael Fu Tie-shan, first Bishop after the Cultural Revolution Very remarkable therefore was the first consecration which took place in Beijing in 1979. Against the Holy See's sharp protests, Michael Fu Tien-shan became bishop by Michael Yang Gao-jian and got in charge for Beijing Diocese. At the same time the Church started to become organized by the Patriotic Association. To lay down the hierarchical status, from then onwards there were no archbishops or ecclesiastical provinces any more, but equal bishops chosen by people and priests. On the other hand stood catholics loyal to Rome, who were led by their own, clandestine consecrated bishops. Therefore, soon several dioceses had two reigning bishops at the same time; often the decision whether "patriotic" or "Roman" is impossible, because some bishops changed the sides or, more often in the most recent time, bishops were recognized by both parties. A first, onesided attempt of reconciliazation took place in 1981, when St. John Paul II elected titular bishop and Apostolic Administrator of Guangzhou, Dominic Deng Yiming, S. I., who was in charge since 1950 and imprisoned for long years, as regular Archbishop of Guangzhou - the very first appointment after nearly thirty years. This step had as consequence the total negation of Deng by the patriotic movement which up to then had appreciated him deeply. He was not able to take over his office and had to go in Hong Kong exile.

John Lei Jiapei, by John Fang Xingyao In this survey or in other places of this website there is no difference made regarding obediences or legitimities, for in most cases bishops were not able to make a choice between papal or patriotic direction. Patriotic dioceses and offices were allocated to the official Vatican jurisdictions. Therefore also after 1958 you will find archbishops, but also two or even three bishops for one diocese simultaneously. This is bound to the times' special circumstances. On
September 22, 2018, the Holy See, represented by Mons. Antoine Camilleri,
Undersecretary for the Relations with States, and Mr. Wang Chao, Deputy Minister
for Foreign Affairs of the People’s Republic of China, signed a "Provisional
Agrrement" on the appointment of bishops without publishing the text. This
treaty, criticized even before by parts of the underground church as well as by
Cardinal Joseph Zen Ze-kiun of Hong Kong, decrees the formal erection of Chengde
Diocese, which since 2010 has been run by regime attached bishop Joseph Guo
Jingcai, as well as the Roman acknowledgement of this prelate and of the other
up to now illegitimate and excommunicated Bishops Joseph Huang Bingzhang, Paul
Lei Shiyin, Joseph Liu Xinhong, Joseph Ma Yinglin, Joseph Yue Fusheng and
Vincent Zhan Silu and posthumous of 2017 deceased Anthony Tu Shihua. A special thank to Mr Andreas Brender, M. A., Kirchzarten, who's website www.brender.eu was of special meaning for this survey, as well as to Fr. Jean Charbonnier, M. E.
