摘要
在短短十几年里 ,东帝汶天主教徒迅速增多 ,由不到总人口的三分之一上升到占绝对多数。与此同时 ,原先作为葡萄牙殖民工具的天主教会不但实现了东帝汶化 ,而且在社会政治方面的影响日益增强 ,崛起为印尼在东帝汶统治的最大抵抗和反对力量。 70年代中期以来东帝汶社会内部的这一巨变 ,对后来东帝汶问题的走向产生了重大影响。对东帝汶天主教会的变迁进行考察 ,将有助于弥补东帝汶历史尤其是东帝汶问题的研究偏重暴力冲突和外部干预的不足。
In not more than two decades, Catholic in East Timor increased rapidly fro m less than one third of the total population to the overwhelming majority. Mean while, the Catholic church, formerly the pioneer of Portuguese colonialism, not only experienced the transformation to a national religion, but also influenced increasingly the political and social aspects, emerging as the strongest resista nce to Indonesian control over East Timor. This change inside East Timor since t he middle of the 1970s determined the later development of the East Timor issue, and ensured East Timor to choose to the independence in 1999.
