The Missionaries

At, not the absolute pinnacle of THE Church’s Culture-power, that would be somewhere in the Dark Ages, but still at a very decent level in global-brain-washing stakes, the first Catholic Missionaries arrived in the NT.   At this juncture, we encounter a plot-split in our story:

 

  1. the immense power of the THE Church on one hand, pulling the levers in the background

  2.  the frontline actors - some missionary dudes, possibly sexually-confused, who’ve sworn a vow to poverty, chastity, obedience - in return for food, board, good health care.  


I want to keep an eye on the first one, whilst delving into the second.  MSC tradition demands that its order-members serve at least 12 months at a grass-roots mission posting before moving onto the more relaxing works of Our Lord.  These postings were in the furthest-flung corners of the earth - as such, a sharp contrast to the cushy cosplay world of the higher-ups - but it is in these communities where the nitty-gritty work of expanding global-mind-control took place. So let’s take a look …

 

Golden rule for research: put yourself in someone else’s shoes if you want to understand the situation.  In this story we have:

  • The missionaries’ shoes, right out there on the frontiers of western civilization, living with the people they’re trying to convert, partially removed from the power wielding reach of their superiors.    

  • The no-shoes shoes of the Originals.  


Firstly, if people from 50-60k years into some dystopian future  (or robots/aliens/hybrids/what-have-yous, if peeps are extinct) were to suddenly appear & assume control, how would i handle it? 

 

Not great, i imagine. 

 

Especially if they told me everything that was of value, my way of life, my skills, knowledge … that was now all meaningless …  Here’s some drugs to help you spiral … & oh, btw, we used that culture-time to fuck up the planet with pollution. Sorry.

 

It’s this cultural time-warp that sucked Australia’s original residents into its vortex.   Like a lot of world-altering events, it wasn't a big-bang in the beginning - it was a soft-bang  - not some explosive event - the opposite - quiet - not unobserved, but less-observed.

 

Soft-bang’s still become seismic in effect - just ask Covid - but it’s the slow-rising tidal wave that envelops you - frog-in-boiling-water style …

 

Such was the case with the appearance of MSC aliens from the Everwhen in the Top End.
