晚清天主教会在内地的置产权述论

Comments on Catholic Church Rights to Purchase Property in China's Interior in the Late Qing Dynasty

有学者认为,1860年的中法《北京条约》确立了天主教会在晚清"内地置产的特权"。其实,《北京条约》只是为法国"正式"向清政府索取内地置产权提供了藉口。而比《北京条约》诈欺性质更为恶劣的1865年"柏尔德密协议"和对中国土地管理主权严重削弱的1895年"施阿兰协议",才最终确立了天主教会在中国内地的置产权。

Some scholars believe that the ＂Beijing Treaty＂ signed between China and France in 1860 gave the Catholic Church the right to purchase property in China＇ s interior in the late Qing. In fact, the Beijing Treaty was only an ＂informal＂ excuse for France to claim right to purchase land from the Qing government. The Berthemy Convention, which was signed in 1865, was more detrimental than the Beijing Treaty and the ＂Auguste A. Gerara Agreement＂ in 1895, seriously weakened the sovereignty of China and finally established the Catholic Church＇ s rights in to purchase property in China＇ s interior.
