1774. Carta de Pedro Antonio Barrera y Montenegro, cura rector de Pozuelo de Calatrava, para fray Manuel del Carmelo, religioso de la orden de los Camelitas Descalzos.

Letter from Pedro Antonio Barrera y Montenegro, priest rector of Pozuelo de Calatrava, to Manuel del Carmelo, friar of the Order of Discalced Carmelites.

The author writes Manuel del Carmelo speaking badly of the friars and notifying him the payment of a clock.

The defendant of this process was Bernardo López Pastor, priest of Valenzuela de Calatrava (Ciudad Real), accused of heretical propositions between 1777 and 1780. During a conversation between Bernardo López Pastor, fray Manuel del Carmelo and Pedro Antonio Barrera y Montenegro, priest rector of Pozuelo de Calatrava (Ciudad Real), Bernardo López Pastor allegedly showed himself to be scarcely prepared about some matters of religion and sacred history, which led fray Manuel del Carmelo to denounce him to the Inquisition tribunal. In addition, Manuel del Carmelo had a letter from Pedro Antonio Barrera y Montenegro, where the latter condemned the actions of all the friars. Manuel del Carmelo handed over the letter, which was joined to the proceedings. Consequently, Pedro Antonio Barrera y Montenegro was also accused of heretical propositions.
