In this book the author describes the Ancestors Ceremonies as practiced in the
Taiwanese Catholic Church. The author¿s point is to demonstrate how the Chinese
symbolic universe made a deep translation of the ¿new¿ symbolic system represented
by the Catholic doctrine. At the same time the effort of the Catholic Church in
order to adapt the Gospel message to the local situation built up a particular
phenomenon that the author defined as cultural dialogue. It is this dialogic
relationship the process that the author defines as Culture.
