Informes sobre las misiones franciscanas en la Nueva California: 1806-1812
Abstract: This article is focussed on the evangelization work carried out by the Franciscans in California. It was a huge effort to introduce the Godspell, which caused, among the different people they encountered, either acceptance –and the subsequent set up of towns and Christian communities– or rejection, thus deriving in robbery, thefts, martyrdom and every kind of diffi culties. The valuable effort of Franciscan friars shows a continuity with the evangelization work generally, which had its roots in America in the XVI century. The California experience during the fi rst years of the XIX century refl ects the continuity with the original new Spaniard ideals and efforts, supported by the Crown. In the case of California, the expansion to new frontiers occurred jointly with discovery, evangelization and colonization. Conquest was also present, with the refuges and with certain pacifi st actions against hostile communities. At present we would say this issue is also important to determine the expansion of New Spain and to establish the foundations of the History of the United States of America.

| Summary: | Abstract: This article is focussed on the evangelization work carried out by the Franciscans in California. It was a huge effort to introduce the Godspell, which
caused, among the different people they encountered, either acceptance –and the
subsequent set up of towns and Christian communities– or rejection, thus deriving
in robbery, thefts, martyrdom and every kind of diffi culties.
The valuable effort of Franciscan friars shows a continuity with the
evangelization work generally, which had its roots in America in the XVI century.
The California experience during the fi rst years of the XIX century refl ects the
continuity with the original new Spaniard ideals and efforts, supported by the
Crown.
In the case of California, the expansion to new frontiers occurred jointly with
discovery, evangelization and colonization. Conquest was also present, with the
refuges and with certain pacifi st actions against hostile communities.
At present we would say this issue is also important to determine the
expansion of New Spain and to establish the foundations of the History of the
United States of America. |
