The counter-revolutionary and restorationist crimes of Catholicism before Liberation
mid 1960s
Publisher unknown
54x38 cm.
BG D25/89

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.

The slogan above reads "Imperialist missionaries and the Catholic Church ran schools, hospitals, and kindness institutions to carry out cultural aggression and deceive the Chinese people” (帝国主义传教士和天主教会办学校,医院,慈喜机关,进行文化侵略,欺骗毒害中国人民).

Below, "Imperialist missionaries and the Catholic Church ran schools, hospitals, and 'kindness' agencies, to poison and deceive the Chinese people, carry out cultural aggression, to buy the people's hearts, to paralyze the Chinese people's revolutionary will, to eliminate the concept of the motherland of the Chinese people, cultivating slavery serving imperialism to achieve its criminal purpose of forever enslaving the Chinese people. Here are some facts of these imperialist missionaries and Catholic churches to deceive the Chinese people and carry out cultural aggression." (帝国主义传教士和天主教会在中国举办学校,医院,“慈喜”机关,是为了毒害和欺骗中国人民,进行文化侵略,是用以收买人心,麻痹中国人民的革命意志,消除中国人民的祖国观念,培养为帝国主义服务的奴才,以达到它永远奴役中国人民的罪恶目的。下面就是这些帝国主义传教士和天主教会毒害,欺骗中国人民,进行文化侵略的一些事实).

Bottom, "Where did the imperialist missionaries get the from for running schools, hospitals and the 'kindness' agencies? The financial revenue and expenditure table from the three churches in Inner Mongolia for the period 1935 to 1936 can explain it. The total annual income of these three churches is obtained from the hard -earned Chinese working people. They only took a small part of the money from it, to run the schools, the maternity wards, to conduct slavery education, and deceive the Chinese people." (帝国主义传教士办学校,医院和“慈喜”机关的钱是那里来的?从内蒙三个教堂一九三五年至一九三六年度的财务收支表中可以得到说明。这三个教堂的全年总收入,都是从搜刮中国劳动人民的血汗得来的。他们只从中拿出一小部分钱,来办学校,办婴儿院,进行奴化教育,欺骗中国人民.).
