520 $a Thus, Catholic beliefs, a strong leadership, and a well-articulated organization coalesced to form a bulwark against encroaching state power.
520 $a When the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) came to power in 1949, it realized that consolidating state power would not come easily as Chinese society was fractured and war-torn. Yet, in its revolutionary project, the CCP did not want simply to consolidate power, it wanted to form subjects loyal to the state alone.
520 $a In achieving such deep state penetration, the CCP brought to heel all groups that stood in its way. One such group deemed "counterrevolutionary" was the Shanghai Catholic community. The CCP were threatened by the independent organizational capacity of the Catholic Church. Catholics, for their part, were fighting for their very survival. Time would show that the CCP wanted nothing less than to dismantle the Catholic Church in Shanghai and replace it with a puppet church which answered only to the atheistic regime.
520 $a Even despite mounting state pressure, the Shanghai Catholic Church resisted the CCP for over six years. How were they able to succeed where so many other groups failed? It is my contention that the Catholic community in Shanghai was able to mount a protracted and powerful campaign of resistance to encroaching Communist power because it had a unifying belief system, a strong leadership, and a well-articulated organization.
520 $a Why Catholics resisted can be explained by Catholic belief. How Catholics resisted can be answered by Catholic leadership and organization. First, the Catholic community in Shanghai had a formidable leader in Bishop Kung (Gong) Pinmei. Kung valiantly resisted CCP to head an "Independent Catholic Church," a contradiction in terms.
520 $a The second key to Catholic success was a well-articulated organization. For Catholic leaders mobilized the laity, especially the youth. The resulting "Catholic Youth" organization drew from lay movements such as the Legion of Mary and the Jesuit-inspired Marian Sodalities. The "Catholic Youth" ensured that the faith would be passed on should the priests be arrested. Even according to "secret" internal CCP documents, Jesuit priests and the "Catholic Youth" formed the backbone of resistance to the Shanghai CCP.
