1931年羅馬教廷任命楊福爵為天主教廣州代牧區輔理主教。由於相關史料流失海外，楊福爵及此次任命長期不為學界所關注。此次增設最早來自1926年廣州代牧巍暢茂的建言。它的出現受到了「非基督教運動」等廣州社會運動，以及20世紀上半葉羅馬教廷主導的天主教本地化運動的共同推動。此次華人輔理主教的設置曲折歷程折射了民國時期來華傳教士對於教會與社會二者關係的不同思考，對於本地教會的建設路徑的不同認知。它們在中國天主教史上具有一定典型性。巍暢茂作為此次華人主教設置的關鍵人物，他的前瞻性思考在今天仍有價值與意義。

In 1931, the Roman Catholic Church appointed Bonifacius Yeung as the auxiliary bishop of the Vicariate Apostolic of Guangzhou. Due to the fact that relevant historical documents have remained overseas, little attention to Yeung and his appointment has been given by Chinese scholars. This appointment was first proposed by Antoine Fourquet in 1926, promoted by the Non-Christian Movement and other social movements in Guangzhou, as well as the indigenization of Catholicism led by the Roman Catholic Church in the first half of the 20th century. The twists and turns of the installation of the Chinese auxiliary bishop reflect the divided views on relation between the Church and local society among the missionaries in China during the era of Republic of China. It also indicates the different considerations of the route in developing the local Church. The event is exemplary in the history of Catholicism in the Republic of China. Antoine Fourquet, as a key figure in this event, his forward thinking still has value and relevance today.
