[John Leland 1789]

I always want to acknowledge responses that are very thoughtful in tone and nature, as your is. Thank you for the portion from the Catechism. I actually would like to have a copy of the whole thing. I'm in China and don't know that I could find one here. I don't know that the same would be available from the Catholic churches here. But there is a very large Catholic church in XiuJiaHui, 30 minutes from here, and I intend to check there. It would likely be entirely in Chinese. I wonder how accurate the Chinese translation would be if it's available.

Of course, that XiuJiaHui Church would be under the government apparatus which forbids any direct links with the Vatican. Would their literature reflect the same general doctrines? It would be interesting to find out.

Interesting, indeed.

BTW, I came across on

http://www.abovetopsecret.com

a claim by someone connected to an anonymous ‘prophet’ of some sort . . . who the poster claimed had been 100% right in all his predictions . . . that a 9.X quake was going to strike just off the coast of China in June—middle of June plus or minus 2 weeks—so all of June supposedly is vulnerable. I have no further details.

Might be worth praying and asking The Lord if there’s anything to it that would have anything to do with your location. I forget where you are precisely.

His Highest for your Utmost as Oswald might say.

I would consider myself honored if you would allow me to buy and send you a catechism.

Are you able to receive mail order books from the United States? Used copies are available at very little cost from companies such as Amazon.com.

For example:

This one works with e-sword:

As far as I know the Catholic Church in China is very much controlled by the government (I presume that Protestant Churches there are under the same scrutiny) and whatever you could get there would probably be unreliable.

There are plenty of Catechisms available online as long as the sites aren’t filtered.
