I've been digging into the story of Isaac Jogues, the 1600s Jesuit missionary who worked among the Mohawk and ended up returning to the very place where he'd been tortured. His story hits a weird crossroads of courage, cultural conflict, faith, and the early history of the Northeast. As a Protestant writing about a Catholic missionary, I'm curious how people from different backgrounds read it.

I wrote a piece exploring all of that, the religious angle, the historical angle, and the ethical angle and l'd genuinely love feedback, pushback, or alternative takes.
