Abstract

The relationship between Matteo Ricci and Diego de Pantoja, Jesuit missionaries

Matteo Ricci and Diego de Pantoja were the pioneers of the Society of Jesus’ mission in China. Both worked in the capital of China to evangelize the Catholic doctrine since 1601. However, Ricci and Pantoja did not act together nor pretend to direct their action to the same social groups. In this text we present the differences between the two religious men, which made Ricci show deep discontent to Pantoja. For a long time this has been explained as a clash of personalities but, rereading the sources, it could be interpreted as a different conception of the method of cultural accommodation.
