Excerpt from La Mission du Maduré, Vol. 4: D'Après des Documents Inédits
Si les souverains et les nations de l'europe n'eussent été inspirés que par le pur zèle de la conversion des païens et de la propagation de la foi, il eût été facile d'accommoder leurs difiérends et de combiner tous leurs efforts pour atteindre ce but principal devant lequel toutes les considérations humaines devaient disparaître, et sans aucun doute ils auraient réussi à planter la foi et à déraciner l'idolàtrie dans toutes les Indes. Mais comme ce zèle n'était qu'un motif partiel qui couvrait des vues d'intérêt et d'ambition ces éléments de rivalité et de discorde produisirent constamment des luttes secrètes et dès guerres ouvertes,' arrêtèrent le développement des oeuvres apostoliques et contribuèrent puissanfinent à leur ruine dans plusieurs contrées.
