| Summary: | This article examines interdependence between the process of European expansion in the New World and confessional conflicts in the Old. It is within this context that two of the most important early Jesuits worked: Francis Xavier and Peter Canisius. Moreover, the article investigates the formation of a heuristic structure by which the increase of Catholicism within the New World was considered as a type of compensation for the loss of so many faithful in the Old. In both considerations, the author raises a central problem of the historiography of the missions: its frequent Eurocentrism. |
