In 1556, not long after the Portuguese first set foot
in Brazil, the Bishop Pero Fernandes Sardinha was
shipwercked on its shores and set about introducing
the gospel of Christ to the native “heathens”. The locals,
impressed with the glorious civilization the bishop
representated and eager to absorb it in its totality,
promptly ate him.
Thus was born Brazilian culture.
