The Christian spirituality of Cardinal Sou-hwan Kim (1922–2009) was informed by the cultural resources of Korea, especially by classical Confucianism. This study examines facets of his Christian appropriation of the Confucian ethico-religious tradition in order to bring to light a specific texture of the hybridity of his "Confucian-Christian" spirituality. In so doing, it hopes as well to offer a case study of the hybrid nature of Korean Christian spirituality itself. Kim inherited the Korean Catholic heritage with its sense of compatibility and complementarity with Confucianism. Building upon it and encouraged by Vatican Council II, he assimilated Confucian resources as far as he could so as to enrich and strengthen his Christian spirituality. Thus, Confucian spirituality flowed into and fused with his contemporary Catholic spirituality. This study highlights salient Confucian traits as lived qualities of Kim's Confucian-Christian spirituality. As a Korean Christian, he doubtlessly reflected on himself in the light of the exemplary pattern of Confucius' spiritual growth as a cultural standard and mirror. This study thus dwells on intriguing parallels between Confucius' and Kim's spiritual profiles. It also stresses that in his mature public career, Cardinal Kim used well-known Confucian adages to drive home his points in a culturally meaningful way, sometimes addressing specific socio-political situations of Korea. His deliberate choice of Confucian themes is indicative of primary concerns in his life and spirituality. His use reflects, moreover, a dual concern present in both Confucian and contemporary Catholic spirituality: "personal/religious" and "social/political."

金秀焕枢机主教的灵性与儒教文化背景：金秀焕的儒教与基督教灵性有多混杂？

金秀焕红衣主教（1922-2009）的基督教灵性受到韩国文化资源的影响，尤其是古典儒家思想。本研究考察了他的基督教对儒家伦理宗教传统的挪用的各个方面，以揭示他的“儒教-基督教”灵性混合的特定结构。在这样做时，它也希望提供一个关于韩国基督教灵性本身混合性质的案例研究。金继承了韩国天主教传统，与儒家思想相容互补。在此基础上，并在梵蒂冈第二次公会议的鼓励下，他尽可能地吸收儒家资源，以丰富和加强他的基督教精神。于是，儒家精神与他同时代的天主教精神融为一体。这项研究强调了突出的儒家特征作为金的儒教-基督教精神的生活品质。作为一名韩国基督徒，他无疑以孔子作为文化标准和镜子的精神成长的典范模式反思自己。因此，这项研究专注于孔子和金的精神概况之间有趣的相似之处。它还强调，在他成熟的公共事业中，金枢机使用着名的儒家格言以一种具有文化意义的方式来表达他的观点，有时还针对韩国的特定社会政治情况。他对儒家主题的刻意选择表明了他对生活和精神的主要关注。此外，他的使用反映了儒家和当代天主教精神的双重关注：“个人/宗教”
