On his dismissal of the Regents, the Emperor reversed their whole policy of repression: the Jesuits were favoured, and an Edict was issued permitting tho missionaries to return to their churches and minister to their converts, but not to

The points at issue. -were two ancestor worship, and the Chinese rendering of the ward God. Ricci and the Jesuits condoned and sanc tioned, if they did not positively approve the worship of ancestors, choosing te a filial regard it as little more than reverenes for the departed; the Francis- cans and Dominicans referred the matter to the Pope, bat, gwing to contradictory verdicte by successive pontiffs, the ques
