12. Read presented a telling of the story that was more kindly to the Church and that explained Prince's vehement presentation as an expression of benign ignorance. "It is true that Father Francolón (parish priest at Santa Cruz) acting under instructions of his superior Archbishop Lamy, called on Doña Carmen and asked for a conveyance of the Santuario chapel to the Catholic church, explaining to her that he had been directed by his superior to request from her the conveyance; that if this was not done no further religious services were to be held in the chapel, neither would it be recognized as a church unless it was placed under the control of the ecclesiastical authorities. To Father Francolón's proposition the señora refused to accede. Then it was that Archbishop Lamy ordered Catholic religious services in the Santuario discontinued, and the matter ended then and there. It is not true that an excommunication, total or partial, followed." Read, "El Santuario de Chimayó," p. 84. [BACK]
