Monsters' Convent 45# - Fundamento

Mother Tataoby tries to convince her veteran, Mother Anchieta, to help with the conversion of Brazi-I mean, from The Country of Brasa.
Mother Anchieta likes to check whether the creatures she encounters are Sapient or not. If so, she is considered human, ergo, she can be Converted!

June 9th is the day of Saint Joseph of Anchieta, the Patron Saint of Brazil and Catechists!
Bro, this man did a lot of things. But let's summarize, He was a Spanish Jesuit who decided to serve Portugal and ended up coming to Brazil as a missionary (people who go to evangelize non-Christian places).

Once here, this handsome here learned the language of the natives, translated and wrote down several of their beliefs (most of the Tupi and Guarani legends that we know today came from him. Like Baetatá, Curupira, Guaraci and Jaci, Uitapuru, Anhangá) and, now knowing speak their language, evangelized those he could and even taught them Portuguese.

Aiming at a better education for the newly converted and also for him and the Jesuits to study, Jojo then founded the Colégio de São Paulo de Piratininga, the first building in the place that today is what we know as the state of São Paulo (Yes , THE STATE OF SÃO PAULO HAS THAT NAME BECAUSE OF ZÉ DE ANCHIETA!) among other schools.

Jojo and the Jesuits tirelessly went around learning the language of the tribes, evangelizing them, and creating schools throughout much of the territory between the states of São Paulo and Bahia (Colégio de São Vicente, Colégio da Bahia, in Salvador and Colégio de Nossa Senhora da Assunção de Reritiba, there in Espírito Santo, for example) he also founded and administered schools on the coast and in Rio de Janeiro.

Do you understand? The Guy Basically FOUNDED EDUCATION IN THE STATES OF SÃO PAULO, BAHIA AND RIO DE JANEIRO (Apart from the other regions)

"Ah, but why is Bostil's education so bad, then?" This is the fault of a mf called Marquês de Pombal (Remember that name, because one day it will become a topic/reference here in the page...)

"Well, if he is a Saint, what miracles are attributed to him?"
That's the funny thing: There isn't. I mean, there's a story that a jaguar attacked him, but he only made the sign of the cross and the jaguar acted like a trained cat (there's even a painting about it) but it's just a legend. The truth is that the guy evangelized so much here, that the Pope sanctified him by Equipolência (He did so many saint things he didn't even needed a miracle to be considered one)!

His name is in the Iron Book of National Heroes of Brazil, among other things, as in practically all the biggest schools in Brazil.
Bro, I am done, You better Respect Sir Zé.
