The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Guangzhou[clarify] (Canton) (Latin: Archidioecesis Cantonensis, Chinese: 天主教廣州總教區) is an archdiocese located in the city of Guangzhou in China.

The Apostolic Administrator of the Archdiocese of Guangzhou,[clarify] Bishop Dominic Deng Yi-ming, S.J.

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.

His ordination was delayed, because the Chinese authorities originally wanted to have two illicit bishops preside over it.

Few of them are offering masses in foreign languages regularly.
