Honoring Ancestors: A Brief History
Ancestral Veneration in the Chinese Catholic Church was first promulgated by His holiness Pope Pius XII. However, it was not fully introduced until the 1970s. In 1971, His Eminence Cardinal Yu Pin started to encourage the practice in Taiwan. He also suggested holding this ceremony on Chinese New Year. This practice was well adopted and received with enthusiasm by the Chinese Catholics in Taiwan. The late Cardinal Yu Pin reflected that the reason for integrating this ceremony with the liturgy was rather simple: “Worshiping God” and Venerating Ancestors” are both rooted in the traditional Chinese culture and custom. Carrying on this tradition can help improve education and morality. This conveys a special message in today’s society and it is one of the goals that any religion should seek and pursue. |

介紹中國天主教祭祖之緣由：
 中國天主教「祭祖」典禮在教宗庇護十二世時正式獲得批准實施，但中國天主教會並沒有積極的推行，直到一九七一年，已故于斌樞機主教正式在台灣提倡農曆新年舉行敬天祭祖。並於一九七二年擴大推行，當時受到國內外各界人士熱烈響應。于樞機說：「敬天是對神的『崇拜』，『祭祖』是對祖先的『追念』。敬天祭祖是中國的傳統文化，特別在今天提倡敬天祭祖，可以『敦教化，厚風俗』，這也是從事宗教活動的人所追求的理念之一。」
