An excerpt.
MESSAGE OF THE HOLY FATHER
To my Venerable Brother
CLAUDIO GIULIODORI
Bishop of Macerata, Tolentino, Recanati, tracks and Treia
I have learned with joy that in that diocese have planned several initiatives to commemorate, in the ecclesial and civil life, the fourth centenary of the death of P. Matteo Ricci of the Society of Jesus, which took place in Beijing on 11 May 1610. In the course of this special jubilee year, I am pleased to send you and the entire diocesan community my cordial greetings.
Born in Macerata October 6 of 1552, the Jesuit Matteo Ricci, with deep faith and extraordinary cultural and scientific genius, he dedicated many years of his life to weave a fruitful dialogue between West and East, at the same time conducting a vigorous action rooting of the Gospel in the culture of the great people of China. His example remains even today as a model of fruitful meeting between European civilization and the Chinese.
