Inclui informações e recortes de imprensa publicadas sobre a discordância entre o Bispo e o governador de Macau na sequência de um incidente do Colégio de S. José

This archival document, sourced from the Portuguese National Archive (ANTT) and dated October 6, 1968, is a formal report addressed to Joaquim da Silva Cunha, Minister of Overseas Territories, detailing escalating political and religious tensions in Macau during 1967. The report centers on ideological conflicts at Colégio de S. José, a Catholic educational institution, where leftist student movements aligned with communist factions challenged ecclesiastical authority. Key incidents include the public confrontation involving Father Rubini, the unauthorized posting of anti-imperialist and pro-communist propaganda within the school, and subsequent intimidation tactics employed by radicalized students. In response, Church authorities—led by Bishop D. Paulo Tavares and including figures such as Chantre António Ngân—formulated an official reply to the students’ demands, opting for written communication to avoid further direct confrontation. The report highlights the involvement of colonial officials, notably Brigadeiro Nobre de Carvalho, underscoring the intersection of religious, educational, and administrative spheres under Portuguese colonial governance. It also references strategic media operations, particularly the role of the communist-affiliated newspaper *Ou Mun* in disseminating partisan narratives, alongside government restrictions on Catholic publications, reflecting broader efforts to control public discourse. Situated within the Cold War context, the document illustrates how global ideological divisions manifested locally, fueling youth mobilization and challenging institutional authority.

Informação acerca da sua missão na China, em condições cada vez mais difíceis, dado o avanço do comunismo.

This official correspondence, dated August 16, 1904, was issued by the Consulate General of Portugal in Canton (Guangzhou) and addressed to a senior administrative authority within the Portuguese colonial administration. Situated within the broader context of Portuguese diplomatic and fiscal operations in China during the late Qing period, the document highlights significant developments in consular revenue and staffing. It reports a substantial increase in consulate income, which rose from 324 patacas twelve years prior to over 2,600 patacas under the current administration, with 1,518 patacas collected in the preceding four months alone. This financial growth is attributed to intensified consular activity and the enforcement of updated regulations that expanded service requirements and improved administrative precision. The primary purpose of the letter is to recommend the appointment of Sófocles José da Luz as Chancellor of the Consulate. The author emphasizes da Luz’s professional competence, his prior experience at the Portuguese Consulate in Macau, and his 120-year record of public service—likely a typographical or transcription error, possibly intended to signify long-standing familial or personal service—as a government amanuensis. At the time of writing, da Luz was employed in opium fiscalization on Taipa; the sender contends that this position could be abolished without adverse impact on state revenues. The request further includes a plea for da Luz’s prompt transfer to Macau to safeguard his accumulated seniority and ensure eligibility for retirement benefits under colonial service regulations. An accompanying personnel roster, though not transcribed, is referenced as supplementary evidence of administrative structure.
