The Inculturation of Catholicism During the Mid-Qing Period

清中叶天主教在华的本土化问题

As the main theme of American Catholic Church's experience, the inculturation process is largely the adaptive adjustment that aims at the sustainable development of traditional belief.

本土化是美国天主教会发展过程的主线，是传统信仰针对异质文化环境，为保证可持续发展而做出的适应性调整。

To enhance these inculturation efforts, the forum recommended researching local traditions with the aid of experts in sociology, cultural anthropology, music and theology.

在十月廿一日会议结束当天，代表们发表七点声明，建议为推进礼仪本地化，各地教会在研究本地化葬礼时，应寻求社会学、文化人类学、音乐和神学界专家的协助。

The interpretation of these two themes, inculturation and secularization, is also the prerequisite of this study.

对于本土化和世俗化线索的认识和把握也即是本文研究的前提。

To some extent secularization of Catholic Church may be also interpreted as a continuing inculturation process since it is also a form of adjustment to the modern life and a source of vitality.

世俗化在一定意义上是本土化的延续，是天主教适应现代社会生活的一种表现，也是宗教生命力的重要源泉。
