Llorente, Juan Antonio

Inquisition -- Spain

_Villagarcia_ (Fray Juan), Dominican, a pupil of Carranza, and his
companion during his travels in Germany, England, and Flanders. He was
one of the greatest theologians of his age. His arrest took place at
Medemblick, in Flanders, at the same time as that of the Archbishop of
Torrelaguna, in Spain. He was imprisoned at Valladolid, on the 19th of
September, 1559. Several letters were found among his papers, and those
of the archbishop, from Fray Louis de la Cruz, and Fray Francis de
Tordesillas, in which they gave an account of all that they could learn
concerning the trial of the archbishop. The same errors were imputed to
Villagarcia as to Carranza, principally because he had copied part of
the prelate's MS. works. Some person having told him that Carranza's
Catechism would be better in Latin than in the vulgar tongue, he
occupied himself in translating it, during his stay in England. This was
the source of another accusation, and a consultation took place to
decide if he ought not to receive the question _in caput alienum_, in
order to make him confess certain facts brought against the archbishop,
but without any proof concerning his having read the works of
_OEcolampadius_ and other prohibited books. The opinions were
different, and the council decreed, that Villagarcia should first be
formally examined on some other propositions. His replies were so
favourable to the archbishop, that he could not have answered more
conclusively for himself. Villagarcia remained four years in prison; he
abjured, and was subjected to several penances, one of which was, never
again to teach or write on theology.
