1755. Carta de Luis Aranda, presbítero, para su hermano Juan José Aranda, cura.

Author(s) Luis Aranda      
Addressee(s) Juan José Aranda      
In English

Letter from Luis Aranda, a priest, to his brother Juan José Aranda, a priest.

The author reprimands Juan José Aranda for his licentious life, and warns him that his behaviour could lead to an intervention of the Holy Office.

The defendant of this process was Juan José Aranda, the priest of Mazarulleque (Cuenca). In 1757, he was accused of heretical propositions and heretical actions by the Inquisition of Cuenca, because he claimed that the constant molestation to which he subjected Isabel Villar Abarca, his maid, was not a sin. Juan José Aranda had also maintained illicit relationships with other maids, as Ana María Gayán and Manuela Palomino. Actually, the pregnancy of Manuela Palomino had triggered the whole process, because the priest was suspected to be responsible for that. The inquisitors then ordered the imprisonment of Juan José Aranda and the seizure of his properties. All the letters he had in his house were confiscated and joined to the proceedings as a proof. Eventually, the defendant was forced to abjure de levi, and he was sentenced to two years of confinement in a convent and to three years of banishment, at a minimum distance of eight leagues from Chinchilla (Albacete), Mazarulleque (Cuenca), and Madrid.
