To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I confess, however, that while he deserves the title of Apostle of India for his energy, self-sacrifice, and piety, I consider his whole method thoroughly wrong, its results in India and Ceylon most deplorable, and that the aspect of the native Christians at Goa and elsewhere shows that Romanism has had a fair trial at the conversion of India, and has entirely failed." This is the criticism of his missionary work by the Abb6 Dubois, writing after much experience of the de- scendants of his nomi...nal converts a century ago — "At last Francis Xavier, entirely disheartened by the innumer- able obstacles he everywhere met in his apostolic career, and by the apparent impossibility of making real converts, left the country in disgust." Xavier's despair of converting adult Asiatics by sub- stituting one ritualistic system for another, drove him, on his first departure from India, to ask John HE. of Portugal, on 10th November 1545, the favour of introducing into Goa and his Indian dominions the Holy Office of the Inquisition.
