1848: Established as Apostolic Vicariate of Guangdong-Guangxi from the Diocese of Macau
1875: Renamed as Apostolic Vicariate of Guangdong
April 6, 1914: Renamed as Apostolic Vicariate of Guangzhou[clarify]
April 11, 1946: Promoted as Metropolitan Archdiocese of Guangzhou[clarify]
The Apostolic Administrator of the Archdiocese of Guangzhou,[clarify]Bishop Dominic Deng Yi-ming, S.J.[clarify] was imprisoned in 1958. His release in 1981 due to a necessary cancer treatment in Hong Kong and his subsequent appointment to archbishop caused the Chinese authorities respond with the appointment of Joseph Ye Yinyun. Archbishop Ye was never recognised by the Holy See, his successor Archbishop James Lin Bingliang was recognised in 1998 only after Archbishop Deng's death in 1995. Thus the rift between the underground church and the Patriotic Church came for the Archdiocese to an end. The present archbishop Joseph Gan Junqiu won papal consent even before the consent of the Chinese authorities. His ordination was delayed, because the Chinese authorities originally wanted to have two illicit bishops preside over it.
