Question
Why was a matter in dispute referred to Pope Gregory XV to solicit his views about it?
Solution
De Nobili’s ‘Method of Adaptation’ aroused much controversy. Some fellow Jesuits and the Archbishop of Goa questioned the property of his behaviour just to gain popularity with the local community. The Constitution Romanae Sedis Antistes issued on 31 January 1623 by the Pope settled the matter. Roberto’s customs of wearing a three-stringed thread or the application of Chandan (Sandalwood paste) on the forehead were not found objectionable, because they did not mean that he was a superstitious man.
