François Pallu, MEP (1626–1684) was a French bishop. He was a founding member of the Paris Foreign Missions Society and became a missionary in Asia. ==Life== Born in Tours, now in Indre-et-Loire, Pallu was recruited by Alexander de Rhodes, SJ, as a secular clergy volunteer to become a missionary in Asia, together with Pierre Lambert de la Motte and Ignace Cotolendi. These were sent to the Far East as Apostolic vicars.〔(''Viet Nam'' ) by Nhung Tuyet Tran, Anthony Reid p.222〕〔(''An Empire Divided'' ) by James Patrick Daughton, p.31〕〔(''Asia in the Making of Europe'' ), p.229-230〕 In 1658 Mgr Pallu became Bishop of Heliopolis, and Vicar apostolic of Tonkin, Laos, and five provinces of southwest China.〔(''Asia in the Making of Europe'' ), p.231〕 The three bishops left France (1660–62) to go to their respective missions, and crossed Persia and India on foot, since Portugal would have refused to take non-''Padroado'' missionaries by ship, and the Dutch and the English refused to take Catholic missionaries.〔Missions, p.4〕 Mgr Lambert left Marseilles on 26 November 1660, and reached Mergui in Siam 18 months later. Mgr Pallu with nine associates left on 3 January 1662.〔(''Asia in the Making of Europe'', p.232 )〕 He joined Mgr Lambert in the capital of Siam Ayutthaya after 24 months overland, but Mgr Cotolendi died upon arrival in India on 6 August 1662.〔Missions, p.4〕 With Lambert, Pallu founded in 1665-66 the general seminary in Ayutthaya, Siam〔(''The Cambridge History of Southeast Asia'' ) by Nicholas Tarling, p.191〕 (the ''Seminary of Saint Joseph'', at the origin of the College General now in Penang, Malaysia). From 1667 to 1673 Pallu was in France, where he published an account of the French missions in Southeast Asia.〔(''Asia in the Making of Europe'' ), p.413〕 He returned to Siam in 1673.〔''Les Missions Etrangeres'', p.48〕 In 1674, Mgr Pallu was sailing to his archdiocese in Tonkin, but met with a storm and had to land in Manila. He was imprisoned by the Spanish and put on a ship to Acapulco and from there to Spain to be judged. He was finally freed through the intervention of Pope Innocent XI and Louis XIV.〔(''Failure in the Far East'' by Malcolm Vivian Hay, p.41 )〕〔(''Christianity in China, Tartary, and Thibet'' ) by Evariste Régis Huc, p.104〕 After this involuntary trip around the world, he would only be able to return to Siam in July 1682.〔''Les Missions Etrangeres'', p.51〕 In 1684, Pallu arrived in China, where he was in charge of what is now the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Fuzhou.〔(''Asia in the Making of Europe'' ), p.262〕 He died in the same year in Muyang, Jiangsu. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「François Pallu」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
