Thesis (Ph.D.)--Harvard University, 1997.

The introduction of Catholicism into Korea brought about the most tragic clash in the history of acceptance of foreign cultures in Korea. Despite harsh persecutions, however, Catholicism was not uprooted. Along with Protestantism, which was introduced later, it has developed into the most influential religion in Korea. What caused the persecutions of Catholicism in Choson society? What led the believers to embrace death to matintain their faith? And in spite of such long and harsh persecutions, why was Catholicism not uprooted?

520 $a The introduction of Catholicism into Korea brought about the most tragic clash in the history of acceptance of foreign cultures in Korea. Despite harsh persecutions, however, Catholicism was not uprooted. Along with Protestantism, which was introduced later, it has developed into the most influential religion in Korea. What caused the persecutions of Catholicism in Choson society? What led the believers to embrace death to matintain their faith? And in spite of such long and harsh persecutions, why was Catholicism not uprooted?
520 $a By advocating equality of all human beings, the Catholic church challenged Confucian society in which rigid social classes, gender distinction, and seniority were central ideas. It was a shock to Confucian society that the yangban class and the ch'onmin class gathered together for mass and the study of catechism without any discrimination. More scandalous was the rejection of ancestor worship rites by the Catholics, because it was regarded as disturbing the family values of the paternalistic Choson dynasty. Thus, persecutions started.
520 $a The government viewed Confucianism as orthodoxy and Catholicism as heterodoxy. Due to the difference in the views on God, the Sangje of Confucianism contradicts the Ch'onju of Christianity. The fact that Catholics believe in Heaven and Hell meant that eternal life was the main issue of ideological and doctrinal conflict. Furthermore, since Choson society was infused with politics, persecution of Catholicism was used for political purposes.
520 $a In the midst of the burning of the doctrinal books and executions of believers, the Catholic Church flourished. What were the reasons? Doctrinally, believers held to a conviction that Catholicism was not a heterodoxy but an orthodoxy. Their new discovery of God as Almighty and Redeemer gave them a hope for the world to come. Sociologically, the claim that all men and women were equal in the eyes of God opened the eyes of the people to see a new world. Institutional factors played an important role also. The Christian community, which began first as Myongdohoe, and then developed into the Kyouch'on later, proved a strong community which practiced Christian brotherly love and strengthened by weekly doctrinal meetings and mass. The community, which ultimately reached out to Beijing and to Rome, came to be connected to the outside world. As a result, the Choson Diocese was established in Korea and with the coming of the foreign missionaries into Korea, the Church grew strong institutionally as well as doctrinally.
