Quoting Letter from Reader:

I know “The Mission” isn’t depicting a particular set of priests, but the decision to throw the indigenous peoples under the bus after converting seemed to be a joint decision of the Catholic Hierarchy and corrupt Monarchs- what exactly was the role of Catholic Hierarchy in these Jesuit missions and decisions regarding their fate?

My answer:

If you recall the Marquis of Pombal, he was not the kind of guy to give Catholic Hierarchy much choice.

He and Madame Pompadour were active in forcing Jesuits out of:

• Portugal with Colonies (highly relevant for Reductions run by Jesuits)
• France with Colonies (relevant for Missionaries sent to Iroquois)
• Protection of the Papacy even.
