论明末清初天主教未能根植于中国的原因

明末清初天主教未能根植于中国的原因是错综复杂的。其外在因素主要有天主教传教发展中不可避免的自身弱点影响和当时罗马教廷对耶稣会的解散削弱了在华传教势力；其内在动力因素有罗马教廷教权与中国封建皇权的冲突和天主教与正统儒、佛、道思想的相悖，以及东西化意识的差异。

The Causes of the Catholic Church' S Failure to Be Implanted in China During the Period of Late Ming Dynasty and Early Qing Dynasty

The causes of Catholic church's failure to be implanted in China during the period of late Ming dynasty and early Qing dynasty are rather complicated. The external factors mainly include the influences of the unavoidable weaknesses that existed in the development of the Catholic mission and the dissoluti on of the society of Jesus by the Vatican which weakened the influence of the Catholic mission in China. The internal motive factors are the conflicts between the power of the Vatican and that of the emperor in China, and the contradiction between Catholi cism and the orthodox thought of confucianism, Buddhism andTaoism, and the differences of cultural awareness between the East and the West.
