Frédéric-Vincent Lebbe
Frédéric-Vincent Lebbe
Father Frédéric-Vincent Lebbe (雷鳴遠) was a Roman Catholic missionary to China whose advocacy led Pope Pius XI to appoint the first native Chinese bishops. Born in Belgium, he chose to become a Chinese citizen at a time when missionaries, like all Westerners, enjoyed legal privileges in China, including immunity from Chinese law. He was captured by the Chinese Communists in 1940 and died later that year.
