Description
-
This image is illustrated in a chapter that discusses the Christian priests in the colonial government in Peru. This image depicts a Franciscan friar who the author praises for keeping true to his religious duties. The author previously criticized many priests for having abused their powers against the indigenous peoples of Peru. This exemplary vicar had humility and was charitable, especially towards the indigenous peoples. The image depicts the friar offering a round piece of bread to a poor man. There are words of dialogue written by the friar. He says, cay tantata micuy, uaccha [eat this bread, poor thing]. The indigenous man responds, sea por amor de dios [let it be for the sake of God]. The friar is also depicted holding a crucifix. The large caption at the bottom of the image reads, [es m]uy justo que tengan orden y yglecia de [...] de sancta catarina y de sancta madalena las yndias y los yndios [...]dien y ordene el auito de san juan bautista los padres de la [conpa]nia de jesus y de su parte los padres del bienauen[turado] san francisco tenga otra yglecia de la horden [it is right that the indians have order in the church of Saint Catherine and Saint Magdalene and the order of Saint John the Baptist, the priest of the company of Jesus, the priests of the Franciscan Order have another church.]
