The article describes missionary processes in the (early) modern period and analyzes the tension that existed with colonialism. In this context, a strict distinction must be made between religious-theological and political-colonial logics and practices. The intertwining of colonial rule and ecclesiastical mission becomes apparent in the example of early modern Hispano-America, which gave rise to fierce criticism of colonialism and legal-ethical reflection. Contemporaneous missions in the Asian region (India, Japan, China, Korea) usually took place in non-colonial contexts and adapted to foreign cultures. The dual confessional mission in 19th century Africa clashed with an imperialistic European colonialism, which disappeared in the decolonization of the 20th century.
