What reading level is A Brazilian Mystic : Being the Life And Miracles of Antonio Conselheiro book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The " authority" went on to say : "The chapel cost about a hundred thousand reis, and all the workmen are from Geara. These, as his countrymen, Antonio Conselheiro blindly protects, allowing them to commit all sorts of disorders, so that they go on with their work. ... A dispute having arisen between the fanatics and the Vicar of Inhambupe, both sides armed theniselves as for a battle, and the peaceful inhabitants were terrified to see the sectaries equipped with blunderbusses, swords and knive...s, and making ready to attack." The expected battle seems not to have taken place.
Perhaps the vicar's followers were as well armed as were the sectaries : for nothing further is recorded of the matter by the " authority " of Itapicujru.
In 1887 the Archbishop of Bahia once more inter- vened, this time on the petition of the clergy of the diocese, who informed him that the " cause of our holy faith is suffering, through the proceedings of one Antonio Maciel, who is trying to convince the f)eople that he is the Holy Ghost." Either Antonio Conselheiro was proving more ambitious in his clairns, or, as is probable, the clergy had misrepresented him, for he himself does not appear to have advanced pretensions of the kind or to have said that he was other than an ordinary man who had a mission to fulfil.
