Macerata, Marche Italy
Matteo Ricci was an Italian Jesuit priest who travelled to China
in the 16th Century. He was a missionary, scientist, humanist,
and educator– a Renaissance Man. He ranks as the most cultivated
man of his time and "one of the most remarkable and brilliant
men of history". The founder of the modern Chinese Church,
Matteo Ricci is respected as a national figure even by the Chinese
Communist Party.
For Ricci, learning and academic excellence in the Jesuit way
served as a magnet that could draw people to God. As with all
things, learning comes from God, and finally, nothing is really
secular. An authority on mathematics, astronomy, apologetics,
literature, popular catechesis, poetry, and a lover of art and
music, Ricci fascinated and attracted the Chinese intelligentsia.
He approached evangelization primarily, but not solely, through
the scientific apostolate.
