Dr. Giacinto Achilli, 1850. Creator: Unknown.

Dr. Giacinto Achilli, 1850. 'Dr. Achilli was born at Viterbo in 1803; he took the Dominican habit in his native town at the early age of sixteen; and in the year 1821 he was ordained a priest at Lucca...[later he]...became thoroughly convinced that the doctrine of Transubstantiation was not warranted by Scripture; and his preaching soon became so decidedly Protestant that he was speedily summoned to Rome, and confined in the Inquisition'. (Achilli was discharged from the priesthood and imprisoned by the Roman Inquisition, allegedly for child sexual abuse or for doctrinal heresy. He later became a fervent evangelist for the Protestant Anglican Communion). From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
