Dear Uriel1022,
Perhaps it's a little tradition to send you a greeting at each major feast. Hope you don't mind. I have nothing much to share except that I am writing about the ... Jingjiao Sanwei Mengdu Zan. I hope to publish it somewhere in Lent and get it on DYK for Easter. If not possible, then I get it on DYK for Pentecost or Trinity Sunday. You can literally "watch me work" at User:TheLonelyPather/sandbox3.
Some fun *Easter* eggs (haha) I found while I was cruising through mountains of sources:
Finally, I am again seeking your opinion on the proper name of this potential article. I am now inclined to call it Jingjiao Sanwei Mengdu Zan, but that's not an ideal English title. Moreover, there is not a conventional English name for it–every author I've come across has their own favourite name / translation for this piece. I've also thought about calling it the "Nestorian Gloria in Excelsis Deo", but it is slightly misleading in two ways–Jingjiao is not entirely Nestorian, and this piece does not have a tight resemblance to the Latin Gloria in excelsis.
Hope everything's well on your side. I keep you and others who study and illustrate the faith in my prayers. Cheers, -- The Lonely Pather ( talk) 23:47, 7 February 2024 (UTC)
I talked to a priest and he allowed me to pick whoever you want, since I haven't been confirmed. The answer is of course Mary Magdalene (and perhaps St John the Evangelist, as these two go side by side in the Easter Litany of Saints, pretty nice). Attached is a photo of the relic, taken at La Madeleine. To me Mary Magdalene symbolises a very human way to repent, love God, and declare his might.
Cross Temple, Fangshan is on a good track to FA. But I might need to postpone Sanwei Mengdu Zan indefinitely. We shall see.
Many best wishes to you, and Happy Easter. Cheers, -- The Lonely Pather ( talk) 08:16, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

My peppery and suspectedly popish friend,
I saw you linking CCPA to quite some articles recently. If you are interested in some more CCPA, may I suggest Louis Zhang Jiashu? Very interesting figure. Surely instrumental in the founding of the CCPA, but again, we are never certain if he did it entirely out of his own will.
Looking into the documents and sources, I saw two different Zhang. The first one appears in official communications, who spoke in official speech and was portrayed as a hardliner on the "independence of the Chinese Catholic Church". The second one is not very obvious, but through a Western interview (as seen here), I think he showed a very suppressed human and Roman side. The same perhaps can be said of a lot of members of the clergy, Protestant and Catholic, during the early PRC.
Wang Liangzuo, whose manifesto turned to be a catalyst in the founding of CCPA, was from Sichuan and went to no where else but Annunciation Seminary, Bailu. Perhaps it is of great interest to you?
I am constantly reminded of the film Silence by Martin Scorsese when I think about these things (I know the plot but haven't watched it yet). I think it captures the fineness of the sentiment of a lot of people who chose the path of silence. Not exactly the via dolorosa in terms of martyrdom, but still a way of the Cross.
The CCPA article itself needs a rehaul. Ignatius Pi Shushi, the first president of the CCPA, definitely needs a better article. The principle of "self-election, self-consecration" (read: we figured out Anglicanism) also also deserves some coverage, perhaps in a stand-alone article. There is a lot of work to do. Meanwhile I shall retreat for a bit, so have a great Pentecost in advance. Cheers, -- The Lonely Pather ( talk) 11:35, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Catholic Church in Sichuan you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by ChristieBot, on behalf of Pbritti -- Pbritti ( talk) 19:01, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
The article Catholic Church in Sichuan you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Catholic Church in Sichuan for comments about the article, and Talk:Catholic Church in Sichuan/GA1 for the nomination. Well done! If the article is eligible to appear in the "Did you know" section of the Main Page, you can nominate it within the next seven days.

No article to offer you today, but would you please have a look at this Anglican church in Taiwan: [1] The Nestorian cross hung on high ... the Chinese Gloria written in Duilian form ... One must imagine a modern Sinic Christianity to be so.
Christ is Ascended. Alleluia! Cheers, -- The Lonely Pather ( talk) 20:01, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
The Barnstar of Good Humour | ||
Given for humour that made me speechless. I will end my "break-of-my-Wikibreak" and return to my duties, happier than before. Thank you genuinely and see you (Wiki-wise)in early June. Cheers, -- The Lonely Pather ( talk) 19:42, 11 May 2024 (UTC) |
On 11 June 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article St. Anne's Church, Moxi, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that two European missionaries stationed in a Catholic church (pictured) were beheaded by Chinese Red Army soldiers led by Mao Zedong in 1935? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/St. Anne's Church, Moxi. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page ( here's how, St. Anne's Church, Moxi), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
