The Roman Catholic Diocese of Tianjin/Tíentsín (Latin:(ラテン語:Tienzinen(sis)), ) is a suffragan diocese in the Ecclesiastical province of the Metropolitan Archbishop of Beijing in PR China. Its cathedral episcopal see is Cathedral of St. Joseph (Laoxikai Church), in the city of Tianjin, which also has the former cathedral: Our Lady of Victory Church (Wanghailou Church) (). Data from 1950 indicated there are 50,000 registered Roman Catholics in Tianjin, occupying 1.4% of the total 3,600,000 population. Recent data from 2008 reflected a recovery of presumably 100,000 Catholics after years of persecution of which 40,000 are officially registered and 60,000 is the estimated number of underground faithful. Even that considered, it is still only a very tiny proportion of the current 15,000,000 population (0.7%). == History == * June 19, 1870: the Tianjin Massacre, an anti-Catholic riot, occurred in the city of Tianjin * April 27, 1912: The Apostolic Vicariate of Coastal Chi-Li () was established on territory split off from the Apostolic Vicariate of Northern Chi-Li () * December 3, 1924: Renamed after its see as Apostolic Vicariate of Tianjin () * April 11, 1946: Promoted as Diocese of Tianjin () 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Roman Catholic Diocese of Tianjin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
