Cayetano Ripoll

According to Ripoll, it was not necessary to hear Mass in order to save one's soul from damnation, and he failed to instruct them to give due reverence to the Sacraments of the Catholic Church, even the Viaticum administered for the comfort of the sick and to pardon the dying that they might resurrect into heaven.

Ripoll was detained by the state and subjected to a two year "trial" on no legal basis by the Junta theologians, in collusion with local rightist officials.

The royal, papal and public displeasure over the clandestine attempt by rightists to re-start the Spanish Inquisition under a new name caused the suppression of the Juntas.

[5]: 355–357 For his denial of the Catechism of the Catholic Church the Junta de Fe clergymen requested Ripoll be burnt at the stake for his religious offenses.

Allegedly, the Church authorities, upset that Ripoll had not been burned at the stake, placed his body into a barrel, painted flames on it and buried it in unconsecrated ground.
