In the early 18th Century, the Jesuits and the Dominicans took differing views on their missionary work in China. The Jesuits took the position that since the traditional chinese folk religion practices were civil in nature and thus were permissible for catholic chinese while the Dominicans took the view that they were religious in nature and thus incompatible with christianity.
Pope Clement decided in favour of the Dominicans upon which the Emperor Kangxi, who had previously been inclined to allow the Jesuits to perform their missionary work, banned Christian missions in China.
If Clement decides in favour of the Jesuits, could we see an integration of Confucianism and Catholicism? What might the effects on China be?
