Like many Catholic Churches throughout the world, the biggest challenge faced by pastors is the materially-driven challenge of consumer capitalism. As seen in this recent photo essay, not much has changed from my own research on Chinese Catholics in the 1990s – there is still an ageing population of regular church goers that is not being replenished by younger generations. This is more of an issue in the cities than in the countryside, but as this photo essay shows, perhaps this trend is becoming more visible in Chinese villages as well.
