AB IPSIS. - Opening words of the apostolic letter that Pius XI addressed on 15 June 1926 to the vicars and apostolic prefects of China concerning the duty of always showing, by word and deed, the universality and supernatural character of the Church, whose missionaries have no earthly aims and ought to have none, and, although they are foreigners, are in no way emissaries of their respective countries. Positively, moreover, the vicars and apostolic prefects, and with them the missionaries, are urged to promote, for their part and according to their vocation, the constructive moral work of the new China. Only in this way will it be possible to dispel the prejudices of many Chinese, especially among the young, that the work of the missions is a longa manus of the respective countries and governments.
