Amazwi embongi yaseMelika uJohn Greenleaf Whittier athabatha indawo yesikhumbuzo sanamhlanje: “Kuwo onke amazwi alusizi olwimi okanye usiba, awona abuhlungu ngala:“ Bekunokuba kunjalo! ”Ukunyuka ngokukhawuleza kunye nokuwa ngesiquphe kobuKatolika eJapan lelinye lawona“ magunya ”makhulu kwimbali yoluntu. Abapristi abangamaPhuthukezi nabaseSpain, uninzi lwabo ingamaJesuit kunye namaFranciscans, bazisa inkolo yamaKatolika kwisiqithi esineenkcubeko kakhulu eJapan ngasekupheleni kweminyaka yoo-1500 nempumelelo enkulu. Amashumi amawaka abantu aguqulweyo, kwavulwa iiseminari ezimbini, abemi baseJapan bamiselwa njengabafundisi kwaye iJapan yaphela ukuba yintsimi yobufundisi, yaphakanyiselwa kwidayosisi. Kodwa iarc ekhulayo yempumelelo yobufundisi ijikeleze ezantsi ngokukhawuleza nje. Kumaza atshutshisayo ukusuka ku-1590 ukuya ku-1640, amawaka amaKatolika atshutshiswa, athuthunjiswa kwaye abulawa de inkolo yamaKatolika, kwaye nakuphi na ukubonakaliswa kwangaphandle kobuKristu, kwasuswa kwaphela.

UPaul Miki wayengumthonyama waseJapan owaba ngumJesuit. AmaJesuit ayengawamkeli amadoda asuka eIndiya okanye ezinye izizwe ababecinga ukuba zikumgangatho ophantsi kunye nenkcubeko kwisikolo sabo sabefundisi. Kodwa amaJesuit ayenentlonipho enkulu ngamaJapan, amasiko awo ayelingana okanye engaphezulu lee kunalawo aseNtshona Yurophu. UPaul Miki wayephakathi kwabo bathi, emva kokuba befundisiwe kwinkolo, bashumayela abantu babo ngolwimi lwabo. Yena nabanye babonisa indlela entsha eya phambili, bevumela amaJapan ukuba angaqondi kuphela kodwa abone, enyameni nasegazini, ukuba bangagcina okona kulungileyo ngokwenkcubeko yabo yemveli ngelixa bethembekile kuThixo ofunyenweyo kaYesu Krestu.
UPaul, umzalwana ongumJesuit, kunye namaqabane akhe baba liqela lokuqala ukubulawa ngobuninzi eJapan. Inkokheli yomkhosi kunye nomcebisi kumlawuli woyika uloyiso lweSpanish nolwamaPhuthukezi kwesi siqithi wayalela ukuba kubanjwe abefundisi abathandathu nabazalwana bakaFranciscan, abathathu bamaJesuit baseJapan, abalishumi elinesithandathu amaJapan kunye nomnye waseKorea. Abo babanjiweyo babezityumze indlebe yasekhohlo kwaye ke banyanzelwa ukuba bamatshe, banegazi, amakhulu eekhilomitha ukuya eNagasaki. Nge-5 kaFebruwari, 1597, uPaul noogxa bakhe babotshelelwa emnqamlezweni endulini, njengoKrestu, baza bahlatywa ngemikhonto. Ingqina lokuzibonela lachaza imeko:
Umzalwana wethu, uPaul Miki, uzibone emi kweyona polpiti ibalaseleyo awakha wayizalisa. “Kwibandla” lakhe waqala ngokuzibiza ngokuba ungumJapanese kunye nomJesuit… “Inkolo yam indifundisa ukuxolela iintshaba zam nabo bonke abo bandonileyo. Ndizimisele ukuxolela uMlawuli kunye nabo bonke abo bafuna ukufa kwam. Ndibacela ukuba bafune ubhaptizo kwaye babe ngamaKrestu ngokwabo ”. Emva koko wajonga amaqabane akhe waza waqalisa ukubakhuthaza kumlo wabo wokugqibela ... Emva koko, ngokwesiko lamaJapan, abenzi bobubi abane baqala ukurhola imikhonto yabo ... Ababulali bababulala nganye nganye. Ukuphosa umkhonto, emva koko ukubetha okwesibini. Yagqiba ngexeshana elifutshane.
Ukubulawa kwabo akukho nto bayenzayo ukumisa iCawa. Intshutshiso ivuselele kuphela amadangatye okholo. Ngo-1614, amaJapan amalunga nama-300.000 1854 ayengamaKatolika. Kwalandela iintshutshiso eziqatha ngakumbi. Iinkokheli zaseJapan ekugqibeleni zikhethe ukwahlula amazibuko kunye nemida yazo ukusuka nakuphi na ukungena kwamanye amazwe, umgaqo-nkqubo oya kuhlala kude kube yinkulungwane yeshumi elinesithoba. Kuphela ngo-1 apho iJapan yayivulele ngenkani urhwebo lwangaphandle kunye neendwendwe zaseNtshona. Kwathi kusenjalo, kwavela amawaka amaKatolika aseJapan ezifihlile, ubukhulu becala kufutshane naseNagasaki. Babephethe amagama abafeli-nkolo baseJapan, bathetha isiLatin kunye nesiPhuthukezi, babuza iindwendwe zabo ezitsha ngemifanekiso kaYesu noMariya kwaye bazama ukuqinisekisa ukuba umfundisi waseFrance ubesemthethweni ngemibuzo emibini: 2) Ngaba awutshatanga? kwaye XNUMX) uza kuPopu eRoma? La maKristu afihliweyo avule iintende zezandla zawo ukubonisa umbingeleli enye into: izinto zabangasekhoyo ezazaziwa ngooyisemkhulu babo kwiinkulungwane ngaphambili. Inkumbulo yabo yayingazange ife.
