The counter-revolutionary and restorationist crimes of Catholicism after Liberation
mid 1960s
Publisher unknown
54x38 cm.
BG D25/117

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 possibile.

Titled "Evidence of the crimes of imperialist missionary Tao Tianjue" (帝国主义传教士陶天爵的罪证), it shows the case of Tao Tianjue (陶天爵, no further details known). Tao was an Italian missionary who was active in Shanxi. He was accused of ollaborating with Li Lujia (李路嘉, Domenico Luca Capozi) and others in plotting, operating a hidden transmitter, and concealing weapons, He was arrested in 1951.

The photographs show Tao, and the guns and other weapons that were seized.
