Persecution

de bene esse: literally, of well-being, morally acceptable but subject to future validation or exception 

On this day in 1635, the Spanish authorities in Peru launched a crackdown on Christian converts suspected of practicing Judaism in secret. Many were arrested and eventually burned at the stake. http://htz.li/1cVLPTa
