Abstract

Abstract Catholicism was introduced into Samoa in 1845 by French Marists. The article gives an overview of the encounter between French Catholicism and Samoan culture in the 19th century. This includes ethnographic descriptions from Mission sources. The Catholic Mission confronted a Samoan culture in the throes of dealing with the intruding European world while entering a Samoan polity of intrigues and alliances. It sought to use these in its own interests, but in turn was used by them. The Marist version of Catholicism may have been unduly narrow in its application to fa'a Samoa (Samoan culture) but the missionaries were dealing with a fa'a Samoa bereft of self‐confidence in the face of the new papalagi (European) world and eager to take in as much of it as possible.

19世纪法国传教士与萨摩亚
天主教于1845年由法国天主教徒传入萨摩亚。本文概述了19世纪法国天主教与萨摩亚文化的相遇。这包括来自特派团来源的民族志描述。天主教传教团面对的是一种萨摩亚文化,它既要对付入侵的欧洲世界,又要进入一个充满阴谋和联盟的萨摩亚政体。它试图利用这些来为自己的利益服务,但反过来又被他们利用。天主教的圣母版本在萨摩亚(萨摩亚文化)的应用上可能过于狭隘,但传教士面对的是一个在面对新的欧洲世界时失去自信的萨摩亚人,他们渴望尽可能多地接受它。
