Convincingly argued with concrete facts, this book candidly presents a compelling account of the devious intricacies and dreadful maneuverings in the middle of the 19th century when efforts were made by Propaganda Fide in Rome, to create a Northern Vicariate in the island of Ceylon. The subtle battles fought in Jaffna among three groups of “missionaries”, viz. the Italian Msgr. Bettacchini, the Goan Oratorians and the newly arrived Oblate missionaries from Europe, undoubtedly offers very useful historical lessons for our own age.
