Maillard de Tournon, Carlo Tommaso, 1668-1710

Carlo Tommaso Maillard de Tournon was born in Turin on December 21, 1668. In 1701 Pope Clement XI selected Tournon to be an apostolic visitor to the East Indies and patriarch of Antioch and consecrated him bishop. Tournon left Rome in 1702, and, after extended stays in India and Manilla, arrived in China in 1705, where he was welcomed by Kʻang-hsi Emperor. When Tournon sought to enforce his opposition to the traditional Chinese rites in honor of Confucius (1706), the emperor banished him to Macao, where he was held under house arrest until his death on June 8, 1710.
