Fabian Fucan's attack on Christianity

Fabian Fucan's attack on Christianity had religious, cultural, historical, political, and social aspects. The religious aspects of Fucan's attack include the claim that the Law of Buddha and the Way of the Gods being destroyed by this European Christian invasion. Fucan also claims that the Europeans plan to come into Japan, throw out the native customs, and import their own cultures and customs into the country. Historical aspects include the fact that Japan has a long history of rulers receiving the right to rule through Gods and the Christian missionaries threaten to dissemble all that. Political aspects of Fucan's attack are that the Royal Sway will be dismantled and destroyed due to Christianity because the Royal Sway only exists because of the glory of Buddha. The social aspects are the fact that Christians act like martyrs to stand up for their faith and don't see death as a punishment. Fucan is inferring that this abnormality may cause native Japanese to not heed typical punishments.
