Quotes from letters that (St. Francis Xavier) SFX sent to King Joao. "You have no right to spread the Catholic faith while you take away the country's riches. It upsets me to know, at the hour of your death, you may be ordered out of Paradise."
Another quote from a letter of SFX to the Portuguese King: <It is possible when our lord calls your Highness to his judgment that your highness may hear angry words. 'Why did you not punish those who were your subjects and owned your authority, and were enemies to me in India?'> GL's comment: Were the native Indians (Catholic or Hindus or others) that owned the King's authority?
