Page 748: Sources from the Past- Fabian Fucan Rejects Christianity

Fabian Fucan attacks multiple aspects that are altered by Christianity.  His anger towards the Jesuits is caused by all of his troubles that he faces.  Fucan felt that he was doing something good by studying and following the ways of the Jesuits; however, after about 15 years as a Jesuit, tensions with this group caused him to leave and return to "the Great Holy True Law [of Buddhism]."  He also hated the Jesuits for their impact of the traditional Japanese culture.  Fabian Fucan thought that the influence of God on Japan would ruin and do away with the Japanese way of life.  According to Fucan, the Japanese rulers had been appointed by the gods that the country worshiped.  The new god, Deus, would have destroyed the traditional method of choosing rulers.  He believed that the introduction of Christianity and the god Deus would affect the lineage of emperors.  Also, Deus's influence on Japan would change the Japanese political structure.  The last effected area of Christianity in Japan would be social aspects.  Fabian Fucan said that the Japanese religion was very supreme in Japan, and rightfully so.  He claimed that, since it was so prominent, Christianity would neither spread nor survive because the current religion that was practiced would squash the competition.
