Black Robes in Paraguay : Success of the Guarani Missions Hastened the Abolition of the Jesuits (1933794100)

The Jesuits came to the Guarani people of Paraguay to spread God's love. Their European-based culture connected with the Guarani, and 30 missions--a new Republic--thrived. The Jesuit resistance to the colonization effors of Spain and Portugal exacerbated European religious and political power struggles. The European monarchs pressured an intimidated Pope to abolish the Jesuits--a tragedy for the Guarani and Jesuits alike. This book is a must read for students of history and of missions. Violence, betrayal, bribery and religious rivalries are highlighted in this remarkable story that reads like fiction. It chronicles the dedication of the Jesuit missionaries and reveals the international religious and political intrigues of the 17th and 18th century colonial period.
