Abstract
天主教是制度型宗教中最為嚴格的一個類型，過往的相關研究多偏重宗教傳播，經濟活動則被忽略。將天主教的身份定位于“納稅人”並進行分析討論，對於廓清宗教與國家，宗教與族群之間的複雜關係，理解傳統的中國財政體制變化，解析棘手的政教關係，具有重要的價值與意義。
Catholicism is the strictest type of institutional religion. Previous studies have mostly focused on religious transmission, while economic activities have been ignored. Positioning the Catholic identity as a “taxpayer” and conducting analysis and discussion are of great value and significance for clarifying the complex relationships between religion and the state, religion and ethnic groups, understanding changes in the traditional Chinese fiscal system, and analysing the thorny relationship between politics and religion.
