It highlights the challenges faced by missionaries, including the papal bull issued by Pope Clement XI, which restricted Chinese converts from practicing Confucian rites. This decision led to tensions with the Kangxi Emperor and the expulsion of missionaries. The video also covers the resurgence of missionary efforts in the 19th century, despite continued persecution, and the eventual growth of Christianity in China.
