In a context of ongoing warfare on the Chilean frontier in the first decades of the seventeenth-century, the Society of Jesus and, in particular, Luis de Valdivia (d.1642) labored as both missionaries and peace-brokers between the warring sides. Making peace was an act of mercy highlighted in the Constitutions as well as a necessary pre-condition for evangelization. Nevertheless, in order to develop, champion, and sustain a viable peace process, it was necessary for Valdivia to not just give counsel to the king and the king’s representatives, but effectively become a crown agent with the power to make strategic and highly political decisions. This, of course, flew in the face of the Society’s own prohibitions on engaging in “reason of state” and also antagonized many whose interests lay in the prolongation of war. The following article charts Valdivia’s attempts to balance these spiritual and temporal obligations in the context of the disastrous chain of events that led to the slaughter and enslavement of hundreds of indigenous allies and the killing of three Jesuits at Elicura in 1612. Counsel failed, and the fragile peace-process teetered on the brink of collapse.

最好的计划……:耶稣会顾问、建设和平和智利边境的灾难;埃里库拉的殉道者,1612 年

在 17 世纪头几十年智利边境持续战争的背景下,耶稣会,特别是路易斯·德·瓦尔迪维亚(Luis de Valdivia,卒于 1642 年)在交战双方之间既是传教士又是和平经纪人。缔造和平是宪法中强调的仁慈行为,也是福传的必要先决条件。尽管如此,为了发展、支持和维持一个可行的和平进程,瓦尔迪维亚不仅必须向国王和国王的代表提供建议,而且必须有效地成为有权做出战略性和高度政治性决定的王室代理人。 . 当然,这与该协会自身禁止从事“国家理由”的禁令背道而驰,也激怒了许多利益在于延长战争的人。
