The counter-revolutionary and restorationist crimes of Catholicism before Liberation
mid 1960s
Publisher unknown
54x38 cm.

A two-part series detailing the counterrevolutionary activities and "crimes" perpetrated by the Roman Catholic Mission in China before and after 1949. Both series are incomplete: the first part lacks the opening sheets; the second part lacks at least one sheet, and possibly more at the end.
Due to this, it is impossible to indicate when the series were published, where, by whom, and for what specific purpose. The last evil deed discussed, at the end of part two, dates from July 1965, during the "Four Clean Ups" movement (四清运动). This suggests that the two series were published some time in the mid-1960s.
The names of the foreign missionaries have been identified as far as possible.

Top, "The very few children who managed to survive were hypocritically clothed by the imperialists and the Catholic Church and sold as commodities when they grew up. Some were sold as maids, some were sold to human traffickers, and some fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls were sold to marry old men or disabled people. The left picture shows the imperialist nuns of the orphanage selling children." (极少数死里逃生能够活下来的孩子,长大后还被帝国主义分子和天主教会伪善地加以装饰,当作商品出卖。有的被出卖当丫头,有的被卖给人贩子,有的十五,六岁女孩,被出卖嫁给老头或身体残废的人。左图是育婴堂帝国主义修女在出卖孩子).

Below, "The picture below shows a child sold by the imperialist nuns of the Beijing 'House of Mercy'. The price was thirty silver dollars." (下图是被北京“仁慈堂”帝国主义修女卖出去的孩子,货价三十银元).
