The underlying theses of Ant6nio Jose Saraiva's Inquisifao e Cristaos-Novos (first edition, 1969; fifth and last edition revised by the author, 1985) are fairly straightforward: the Portuguese Inquisition's avowed aim to extirpate the Judaic heresy and thereby purify Portuguese Catholicism was a rationalization of other, tacit, ends.The net effect of the Inquisitorial policies was, in fact, the manufacture of Judaizers rather than their attrition.The caste or "race" of the New Christians was coextensive with the Portuguese mercantile middle class which the feudal fabric of Portuguese society would not tolerate or co-opt.Nearly all of the New Christian Inquisitorial victims (some 40,000 so labeled between 1540 and 1765) were devout or run-of-the-mill Catholics whose Jewish ancestry, often partial, if not fictional, was their sole crime.
