Abstract

Since the mid-11th century, the term "papa" has been used consistently by Roman bishops. Matteo Ricci was the first person to use the Chinese word "Jiao Huahuang" 教化皇 to refer to Roman bishops. Giulio Alenio began to use "Jiao Huang" 教皇 and later changed to "Jiao Zong" 教宗, which may be due to a political consideration. Alphonsus Vagnoni, involved in the Nanjing incident in 1616, was caught up in political pressure and invented the term "Jiao Huawang" 教化王. Unexpectedly, this term was used by the emperors of the Qing Dynasty, so it often appeared on official diplomatic documents of Kangxi and others. During the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China period, the term "Jiao Huawang" 教化王 or "Jiao Wang" 教王 was no longer used; Catholics often made mixed use of "Jiao Huang" 教皇 and "Jiao Zong" 教宗. Pierre Hoang and Ma Xiangbo exclusively used "Jiao Zong" 教宗, while Li Di and French priest Alphonse Favier exclusively used "Jiao Huang" 教皇. In the process of establishing relations between the Holy See and the government of the Republic of China, in order to eliminate interference from France, the term "Jiao Zong" 教宗 was favored by the upper circles of the church due to its lack of political overtones, which had a huge impact on the Chinese Catholic Church. However, there are still some members of the church and scholars outside the Church who use the term "Jiao Huang" 教皇. Relatively speaking, the term "Jiao Huang" 教皇 can more accurately convey the nature of Roman bishops, with a strong sense of history and less emotional and ideological bias, so this historical term is worth continuing to use.
