1747. Carta de denúncia de Bartolomeu Vicente Rosa para Manuel Moreira, comissário.

Denunciation letter from Bartolomeu Vicente Rosa to Manuel Moreira, a commissionary of the Holy Office.

The author denounces a priest that seems to have a dishonest behaviour in confession.

The Inquisition archives contain, apart from the around 40 thousand individual proceedings ("processos"), a collection of scattered charges, for which the Inquisition "Promotor" had to decide whether or not to prosecute. Complaints, confessions, letters by the commissioners or about different stages of each proceedings are some of the document types that can be found in these books. This letter has been kept among such documentation.
