The following post of Gilbert contains inane falsehoods. Without knowing,
understanding or remembering anything about what Fr. Basilio Monteiro and I

My first interest in this topic started with the many Inquisition posts on
Goanet, mostly by Goan Catholics. But as a history buff, most of what I read
were pontificating opinions with very little hard data - nature of crimes,
number of victims, quotes of contemporary writers, etc etc. So clear

How should the current-day Goan position himself/herself vis a vis the
rivalries of the past (which have, in significant measure, lead to the
building of the Black Legend about Portuguese Goa, the Inquisition in

By selecting the title as "Trinity", likely Fred was constrained to refer
to only three names often quoted by the Goa-Inquisition bashers. However if one
surfs the web for the hate-Goa (specially hate-Christian) sites, one encounters

I've long wondered over the identity and ideology of a
small set of people who have shaped the globe's understanding
of the Goa Inquisition. Recently, coming across more critical
views[1] that challenges our traditional understanding of the
Inquisition only made one more puzzled.

I have always been intrigued why Goans, and I include intelligent Goans
(Catholic and Hindus), have a difficult time with the Goan Inquisition. I had
my own theory for their difficulty to understand the Inquisition. Yet, this was

Hi Maurice and Fred,
Hope you did not mind my comments to your post on Goanet. I have not followed
all tit-bits of information on the Inquisition in Europe; as I follow regarding
the same history in Goa.

Europe, there

I sometimes suspect that the term "Inquisition" is played up by a set of
interests who would like to create a contemporary Inquisition -- this time
based on political interest, and communal ideologies.
We know the Dutch created a "black legend" about their colonial (and other)
rivals, the Spanish
For those interested in this area, there are many Inquisition and
other related books at the link below:

Now that Sapna Shahani has stirred the soup on the Goan Inquisition, I

really are. Sapna I am sure will benefit from this too.
