Kongolese Saint Anthony: Dona Beatriz Kimpa Vita and the Antonian Movement, 1684-1706
by Thornton, John K.
|
| |
| A fascinating account of the life of Dona Beatriz Kimpa Vita, a young Kongolese woman who in 1704 claimed to be possessed by St. Anthony. Before she was burned at the stake, Dona Beatriz argued that Jesus was a Kongolese; she criticized Italian Capuchin missionaries for not supporting black saints; and she attempted to stop the devastating cycle of civil wars between contenders for the Kongolese throne. | | |
