With Christians totalling more than 80% of the population and the Church recognised as the strongest non-government organization, one apparent exception to these differences is religion. …”

Le Saint-Siège et les élites en Extrême-Orient : la création des universités catholiques de Pékin et de Tokyo, Fu-jen et Sophia (1908-1936) by Olivier Sibre

“…The foundation of the universities Furen in Beijing and Sophia in Tokyo expresses the will of the Holy See to convert the elites of the westernized Far East, and to give to these institutions a real universal dimension, catholic, in front of the tensions between the missionary institutes and congregations, but also in front of the cultural et political strategies of the great powers towards the Christians missions. The comparative study of the two foundations from the end of the XIXth century to the beginning of the 1930’s try to bring out the different factors which influence the pontifical initiative within a “polycratic” government and a complex institution, while the popes describe their magister as a suprema et plena potestas.…”

Ewosṭateans at the Council of Florence (1441): Diplomatic Implications between Ethiopia, Europe, Jerusalem and Cairo by Samantha Kelly

“…This article argues that at the Council of Florence, arguably the most important instance of European–Ethiopian diplomacy before the 16th century, the delegates representing the Ethiopian Orthodox Church were Ewosṭatean monks—schismatics, whose positions were not yet accepted by Ethiopian religious authorities nor permitted to other Ethiopian Christians. It further proposes that the monks’ participation in the Council of Florence was part of the Ewosṭateans’ larger strategy of pressuring Ethiopian authorities to adopt their own religious positions, at a time when the king’s sympathy for their views was not yet clear; that the Council of Florence highlighted Ethiopian tensions with the Coptic patriarch in a way that furthered the Ewosṭateans’ goals; and that subsequent events suggest that their participation in the Council did indeed contribute to their full incorporation in the Ethiopian Church, and possibly to King Zära Ya‘ǝqob’s interest in continued European diplomacy.…”
