Response to “Black Robe” The world views of the French Catholics and the Algonquin Indians differed greatly in this film. Father LaForgue’s world view was centered on Jesus Christ. In Father LaForgue’s eyes, he was put on this earth to serve Jesus and everything he did was for him. He believed that after life on earth, everybody goes to heaven, which he referred to as “paradise.” Being a good human in the French Catholic religion meant having monogamous relationships. It also meant living in a world of non-violence and love. They were not allowed to enjoy flesh. An example of this from the film is when Father LaForgue saw the two people in the woods having sex and he watched on for a minute. After that he whipped himself with a tree branch while he chanted “it’s my fault.” He was punishing himself for his own sins. Father LaForgue knew what was right and wrong and how the world worked from the Bible. The French Catholics were very strong followers and believers of the Bible.
