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 says that he is sending an Indian to testify, although he is not entirely willing to do so. 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. |
