4.0 out of 5 stars The True Meaning of Matteo Ricci
Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2000
Simplicity at its finest: Chinese on one page, English on the other. Allows you to see exactly what Ricci was up to without a commentary pushing one's political agenda. That is, reading the text of "True Meaning" for oneself, one can conclude the truth about Matteo Ricci. He did not misunderstand the chinese, nor force them into conversion (one man against millions?) as the 'liberals' claim. Rather his understanding, respect and love for them was profound. He did not "water-down" or "sell-out" the Catholic faith by conceding or accomodating too much as so-called 'conservatives' claim. He did what any Catholic must do: he became all things to all men. And like St. Paul in the Agora, he presented the Real Christ in such a way that Christ was a)understandable to the people listening and b)true to the person of Christ.
