1782. Carta de Bernardo de Aragão Cabral, familiar do Santo Ofício, para António Teixeira Lima, vigário e comissário.

Author(s) Bernardo de Aragão Cabral      
Addressee(s) António Teixeira Lima      
In English

Letter from Bernardo de Aragão Cabral, a familiar of the Holy Office, to António Teixeira Lima, vicar and commissioner of the Holy Office.

The author reports on the whereabouts of two witnesses and confesses how difficult it is to perform his errands in a place where he has no jurisdiction.

Francisco Pessoa was a first captain in Barreiros (Pernambuco, Brazil) who was prosecuted by the Inquisition under the accusation of sacrilege and superstition. Apparently he used to assemble some Indians and some of his own family and together the group would disrespect an image of Christ, boiling, wrapping and jumping on it. Nevertheless, for lack of witnesses, the case never went to trial.
