In reply to Ganganeli. Certos documentos relativos à Inquisição de Goa foram levados ao Brasil, onde estava a Corte, e lá ficaram.

A inquisição estava entregue à Ordem Dominicana, os Jesuítas e os seus missionários não tem nada a ver com a inquisição, exceto o facto de São Francisco Xavier vendo que em Goa havia muita corrupção e a adoração de seus antigos deuses hindus por novos cristãos e relaxamento das normas cristãs tb por alguns cristãos novos, convertidos do judaísmo em Portugal, mas deslocados para a Goa após a conquista de Goa, ter solicitado o estabelecimento da Inquisição no Estado da Índia. Na Índia os jesuítas são falsamente acusados de pratica de inquisição. Os Tribunais da Inquisição eram constituídos por clérigos dominicanos, tirando exceções.
O Brasil não pertenceu ao Estado da Índia Portuguesa e era controlado por emissários da inquisição enviados de Lisboa ao Brasil, motivo pelo qual os documentos da inquisição do Brasil não podem constar no arquivo de inquisição de Goa. Além disso no Brasil não houve a necessidade de estabelecimento dum Tribunal de Inquisição.

In reply to Jerry Pinto. Thank you, Mr Jerry Pinto! Totally uncalled for, I agree. This has been happening every few years. And it's time we set the record straight.

In reply to Ivo de Noronha. Thank you, Ivo! Also note what Voltaire, an enemy of the Church, said in one of his essays: "You have to be very cunning to calumniate the Inquisition, and to look for lies to render it odious." This "truth" is seldom repeated!

In reply to Maria Ana da Costa. Thank you, Maria Ana! I guess most of the inquisitors must have been kind too. After all, the objective was to reform the accused. Cheers!

Well written indeed. This is nothing but a bigoted attempt at creating hype over events, which none of us can be a judge off. The circumstances in those days gave rise to various situations. This is an attempt to augure cheap brownies by entities who have an urge to politicise and create a divide in a peaceful society.

I concur with Da Costa and would add Voltaire’s historic words, that ‘a lie repeated a thousand times becomes a truth’. Sadly, this is the case in modern India.

You have been too kind to the panelists in this article. But then, sometimes it’s best to treat irresponsible people with indifference rather than attention.
