Reflection Essay The Mission
|
|
|
“The Mission” examines the events surrounding the Treaty of Madrid in 1750, when Spain ceded part of South America to Portugal. ... A bishop from Europe comes to settle the dispute and to view the mission’s. He is overwhelmed by what he sees at the mission’s of San Miguel and San Carlos. Unfortunately, this was not enough to save the mission at San Carlos and prevent the slaughter of the innocent natives and three Jesuit priests who built the mission. ... The royal governors ordered the mission to be burned to the ground. In the end, the bishop orders the Jesuits to leave the mission and force the natives back into the jungle. ... Tragically, both Mendoza and Gabriel are killed trying to protect the mission.
My analysis of “The Mission” will answer two questions from Avery Dulles Models of the Church. The first question asks if Dulles models were in operation throughout “The Mission”. ... With this came a corresponding over-emphasis on authority and a corresponding lack of lay involvement in the life and the mission of the Church. In the movie, the bishop turned a blind eye to what was really going to happen to the Indians at the mission. ... Briefly, as Christ came to serve, the Church must carry on his mission of service to the whole world.
