Catholicism and Taiwan: A model of growing together

On July 18 last year, Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen attended the installation ceremony of Archbishop Thomas Chung An-zu of Taipei in the nation’s capital. President Tsai delivered a speech where she hailed the Church’s century-long presence as having been vital for the development of Taiwan. "Over the past few decades, the Church has helped Taiwan society in so many ways and at so many levels that it is impossible to describe them in a few words or a few days," Tsai said.
