Talk:Gabriel Malagrida

Untitled
The article is crap, as one would expect from a piece copied out of the pre-WWI Catholic Encyclopedia. For example, of the two works about which the article says: "The accusation of heresy was based on two visionary treatises which he is said to have written while in prison. His authorship of these treatises has never been proved. A monument in his honour was erected in 1887 in the parochial church of Menaggio," here are some basic facts--one was about the role of the divine in the Lisbon Earthquake; the other was a meditation on the uterus of Saint Anne. Visionary indeed, even if he was a mystic. Yes, he was a devout Jesuit who was put to death cruelly by Pombal after he had lost his mind (already in his 70s, he spent a year in a dungeon for his role in the Tavora affair, and was generally considered off his rocker).

Er, "tools of Pombal"--do you mean Pombal's brother, who was appointed to head the Inquisition? Danny (talk) 02:15, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
