What reading level is A Russo Chinese Empire An English Version of Un Empire Russo Chinois book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Their real function as agents of the Western States is manifested exclusively by their economic activity in the communities once formed.
The secret which gives the Catholic missions the advantage in the formation of these communities is a very simple one.
The Catholic missionaries have, in a word, become more Chinese than the Protestants. In the majority of 121 A RUSSO-CHINE^E EMPIRE cases they speak Chinese very well. They have, further, this enormous advantage over their rivals, that the Cath...olic cult, which, as we know, is entirely borrowed from ancient Buddhist rites,^ offers a striking resem- blance to certain religious practices of the country.
The veneration of saints, the use of incense, the exis- tence of icons which are the objects of adoration, the non-participation of the congregation in the service itself, the gorgeous character of the cult which creates impressions by its external side above all, and makes no demands upon the worshipper ; lastly, confession, and even the idea of transubstantiation borrowed in its entirety from Buddhism : all this was bound not, of course, to make the Christian religion more easily adopted by the Chinese, but to render adhesion to the t^hristian community more easy to them, inasmuch as the Catholics made very wide concessions, so wide that they ought to convince the most fervent European defenders of the Church that their missions have ceased to be Christian.
