195. Jesuit Missionaries

The Company of Jesus (to indicate its military spirit) also called \"The Society of Jesus\", were linguists, explorers and ethnographers. They learned New World Indigenous languages and customs, developed dictionaries and grammars, translated and preserved much of the history and traditions in their documents—which include details of their missions and activities and both the successes and failures of the Jesuits in their attempts to convert Indigenous peoples. In North America, their goal was to bring lost souls to Christianity and they were willing to endure hardships and to shed their blood to succeed.   Check out the YouTube version of this episode at https://youtu.be/-5CBRQrRXXQ which has accompanying visuals including maps, charts, timelines, photos, illustrations, and diagrams.  Jesuit books available at https://amzn.to/3vttWgG  Ignatius of Loyola books at https://amzn.to/3VvdwiD New France books at https://amzn.to/43IZrjw ENJOY Ad-Free content, Bonus episodes, and Extra materials when joining our growing community on https://patreon.com/markvinet  SUPPORT this channel by purchasing any product on Amazon using this FREE entry LINK https://amzn.to/3POlrUD (Amazon gives us credit at NO extra charge to you).  Mark Vinet\'s HISTORY OF NORTH AMERICA podcast: www.parthenonpodcast.com/history-of-north-america                                             Mark\'s TIMELINE Video channel: https://youtube.com/c/TIMELINE_MarkVinet  Website: https://markvinet.com/podcast  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mark.vinet.9 Twitter: https://twitter.com/HistoricalJesu   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/denarynovels   Mark\'s books: https://amzn.to/3k8qrGM  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
