Dr. Alfredo DeMello (born in Goa in 1924) is a famous historian who today lives in Uruguay in Latin America. In his brilliant book titled ‘MEMOIRS OF GOA’ he has given a detailed and graphic account of the horrors of the Inquisition in Goa and in other parts of India from 1510 to 1812. :-–
It was Francis Xavier who established the Inquisition in Goa, Spain and Portugal of which persecuting thousands and thousands of Jews and Hindus because they are Shame of the World.
Stalin was a tyrant, murderer, but at least he was not a hypocrite.
Big House, with two hundred cells.
All the persons above 15 years of age were compelled to listen to Christian preaching, failing which they were punished.The Hindus in Goa were shocked to see the God of Christianity being more cruel than that of Mohammad and therefore, deserted the territory of the Portuguese and went to the lands of the Muslims, and received enormous and incalculable evils.
OUT OF THE FRYING PAN INTO THE FIRE.
those who complained, or even prayed to Hindu-God , ran the risk of being whipped by the Guards’. with tortures of fire, cruel death.The ‘artificial’, ‘manufactured’ and ‘unnatural’ crimes criminally brought up against the Hindus , to be burnt at the stake or,burnt alive
Three kinds of torture were practised against the Hindus 1) the rope or the pulley 2) water and 3) fire. The torture by rope consisted of the arms being tied backwards and then raised by a pulley, leaving the victim hanging for some time, and then let the victim drop down to half a foot above the floor, then raised again. These continued up and down movements dislocated the joints and made the prisoner emit horrible cries of pain.
The torture by water was as follows: the victim was made to lie across an iron bar, and was forced to imbibe water without stopping. The iron bar broke the vertebrae and caused horrible pains, whereas the water treatment provoked vomits and asphyxia.
The torture by fire was definitely the worst: the victim was hung above a fire, which burnt the soles of the feet, and the jailers rubbed bacon and other combustible materials on the burning feet. The feet were burnt until the victim confessed “I am Christian “. Holy catholic priests watched this scene .
‘The name of St.Xavier happens to be well respected in our country. and there are so many educational institutions dedicated to his name all over the country where our Hindu children receive their education. These schools never tell us the truth’.
St. Francis Xavier landed in Goa on 6 May 1542, with a resolve of ‘uprooting paganism’ from the soil of India and planting Christianity in its place. And so all plans of persecution and oppression of the Hindus came along with him. All religious policies and procedures of forcible and fraudulent conversions and demolitions of the Hindu Temples and idols were undertaken under his guidance and missionary zeal.
Thus it was St.Francis Xavier who laid the foundation for the ‘compassionate’ (barbarous!) for an organized system of Holy Inquisition against the Hindus in Goa and other parts of India.And a general massacre and extermination of the Brahmins’.If there were no Brahmins in the area, all Hindus would accept conversion to our faith’.
No wonder the great German philosopher Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche [1844 –1900], ‘I call Christianity the one great curse of enormous and innermost perversion, A CURSE ON HUMANITY.
