Is there an actual account of someone being executed for saying Jesus was from Kongo? I am not doubting they executed people for ridiculous reasons, but that one just stuck out to me as just... Was it just specifically Kongo or claiming he was from somewhere else than their scriptures claim?
Summary of Wikipedia: Kimpa Vita, burned as a heretic. Religious tenets among others: Jesus, Mary and Saint Francis were born in Kongo.
The real reason for being executed was probably because she was a threat to people in power, not that she claimed something silly.
