The lay Afro-Brazilian brotherhood of Our Lady of the Rosary has lost its king. The members insist on giving the regency to Francisco de Souza, but the widow of the deceased will do everything possible to prevent it. Later we talk about the Afro-Brazilian brotherhoods, how they operated and started, and the role of the Catholic Church and the Portuguese monarchy.
