 * Is there any truth to his having "converted" to Chritianity, in order to bolster support from the West, in his struggle with the Qing? Dr. Dan 18:42, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
 * From this source: ; he did not convert to Christianity but he allowed his stepmother, mother, wife and then eventually his son and crown prince to convert. He let his son do so reluctantly because the Jesuit priest wanted the boy to be raised a Christian and end the practice of polygamy, and only did so because the child became ill. It seems like he was more preoccupy with the war with the Manchus to care about the Catholics in his court and saw them as another possible ally. His stepmother Empress Dowager Wang wrote to the Pope and the only reply back was that the Pope would pray for the Ming. Information from Michał Boym should be included in this article to get better picture. KAVEBEAR (talk) 06:48, 23 January 2022 (UTC)
