All that is in the book-testimony "The Anthropologist Priest. Amidst the indigenous people of the Amazon" (Ediesse, Roma 2011), written in collaboration with anthropologist Silvia Zaccaria, dedicated for several years to her field research with the indigenous people of the Brazilian Amazon.


Hellooo....well that's what he was doing there. "Writing a book" with a female anthropologist.  :rolleyes:

Archbishop Lefebvre said that when he was Superior General of the Holy Ghost missionaries, his priests told him they didn't know what the purpose of their work was anymore after Vatican II, now that they weren't supposed to convert people. They had lost their "raison d'etre" (reason for existing) as missionaries.

Also, from a 2008 article in NCR by John Allen...

To take one example, in a Feb. 10 interview with three Jesuits, Nicolás [Superior General of the Jesuits] said that he admired the later St. Francis Xavier -- not the ardent missionary of Xavier’s early years, but the Xavier who later developed deep respect for Asian cultures. Nicolás told a story of how Xavier once went to Fukoka, Japan, to scold a morally lax Buddhist monk. What impressed Nicolás is that Xavier went not to tell the monk he should become a Christian, but rather to be a better Buddhist.



This may be fair or unfair, and perhaps I'm just being a little too imprudent, but I'm beginning to feel "suspicion" toward the saints that the VII conciliarists are "celebrating".
