In 1624, Emperor Susenyos I of Ethiopia made a decision that would tear the kingdom apart: he converted to Roman Catholicism. This episode explores the dramatic and often violent attempt by Portuguese Jesuit missionaries to align Ethiopia’s ancient Tewahedo Church with Rome during the reign of Susenyos and his successor Fasilides. We trace the political maneuvering behind this religious shift, the resistance from powerful nobles like Ras Gebre Medhin, and the eventual expulsion of the Jesuits in 1632. The story reveals how a foreign religious agenda clashed with indigenous traditions, leading to civil war, exile, and a definitive reassertion of Ethiopian Orthodox identity under the new capital of Gondar. Discover why this brief period of Catholic influence left such a lasting scar on Ethiopian history. #SusenyosI #JesuitMission #EthiopianOrthodox #Tewahedo #Fasilides #PortugueseColonialism #Gondar #RasGebreMedhin #SebastianodeMora #RomanCatholic #EastAfricanHistory #SolomonicDynasty #ReligiousConflict #Geesez #ZemeneMesafint #AbyssinianEmpire #ChristianityInAfrica #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
