[1692]. Carta de António Gonçalves do Sacramento, padre, supostamente para Maria Pimenta da Silva.

Author(s) António Gonçalves dos Santos      
Addressee(s) Maria Pimenta da Silva      
In English

Friendship letter from António Gonçalves do Sacramento, priest, supposedly to Maria Pimenta da Silva.

The author tells his friend what happened during a flood in the village.

The defendant in this process is António Gonçalves do Sacramento, a resident in the Algarve, priest and spiritual master of the Recolhidas of Vidigueira, and accused of pretending to have visions and revelations. There was the suspicion that he maintained an illicit relationship with Inês da Conceição, who had also been accused by the Inquisition of false visions and revelations, and who was in jail for this reason. In a letter he wrote to Maria Pimenta da Silva (PSCR0311), the priest speaks about Inês da Conceição, showing his belief that her revelations were true and pure. That letter served as proof of the priest's scandalous opinion and position towards this case, and was thus regarded as an affront to the judgment of the inquisitors. Among his less apppropriate behaviours, there was also the information that he got excited with the lewd attitudes of Inês da Conceição when she was possessed by the devil, giving in to his natural instincts. When he was confronted by the Inquisition, the defendant said he had no mortal guilt, since also the power of Inês da Conceição was supernatural.

If there is no translation for the letter itself, you may copy the text (while using the view 'Standardization') and paste it to an automatic translator of your choice.
