1782. Carta de António Teixeira Lima, vigário e comissário, para Francisco Pessoa, capitão-mor.

Author(s) António Teixeira Lima      
Addressee(s) Francisco Pessoa      
In English

Letter from António Teixeira Lima, vicar and commissioner of the Holy Office, to Francisco Pessoa, a Captain Major.

The author orders the addressee, although in an veiled way, to fulfill his obligations.

Francisco Pessoa was Captain Major 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.
