Father lbaye, shall we continue?
1:06:42
What was your income last year?
1:06:45
Last year, 120,000 escudos.
1:06:49
And how was it distributed?
1:06:52
It is shared among them equally.
This is a community.

1:06:57
Yes, there is a French radical group
that teaches that doctrine.

1:07:01
Your Eminence, it was the doctrine
of the early Christians.

1:07:06
Well, I am inexpressibly impressed
by your achievement, Father.

1:07:10
- And will that save us?
- I hope it may, Father.

1:07:18
The court of Portugal is atheistic,
but you and I are Christian Catholics.

1:07:22
- And you serve a Christian king.
- Come, I also serve a Catholic king.

1:07:27
You serve the Marquis of Pombal,
who is hostile the church...

1:07:31
...and rules your king.
1:07:33
I suggest we advise your king to postpone
the transfer of the mission territories...

1:07:39
...until Portugal guarantees
their survival.

1:07:42
And I suggest we do this
in the hope of heaven...

1:07:45
...through the intercession
of our merciful Redeemer.

1:07:49
In my opinion, the work of the
missions is the work of the devil.

1:07:55
They teach contempt for lawful profit,
and they disobey the king's authority.
