Abstract

Abstract

The essay explores Chinese rural Romanists' adoration for Virgin Mary by delheating the two causes of its formation. One was the propaganda of foreign missionaries in China, which inspired Chinese rural Romanists to adore Virgin Mary. The other was the tradition of Chinese folk beliefs in goddess, which helped the Chinese rural Romanists to accept the catholic creed. By this, these two different religious cultures were blended.
- rural society,
- Romanists,
- adoration for Virgin Mary
