明末清初上海的天主教集会——以新出史料《敬一堂志》为中心

Jingyitang zhi Sheds New Light on Shanghai’s Catholic Confraternities in Ming-Qing Transition

明末清初,在华耶稣会士创立了一系列以促进灵修、鼓励传教为宗旨的信徒团体。此类团体既是当时天主教会管理信徒的基本方式之一,也是信徒宗教生活的重要组成部分。鉴于此类团体尚无统一的汉语称谓,本文暂称其为"天主教集会"。受史料所限,目前国内外学界关于此类团体的系统研究较少。本文以新出史料《敬一堂志》为主要依据,对该时期上海天主教集会的创立背景、组织形态与社会功能进行考察,并揭示这一组织形式对信徒生活的影响。
