Pedro Naranjo said that the revolt was started all because of Indian Sorcerers,especially one named Pope. And the sorcerer Pope had supposedly talked to the devil. Pedro seems to support the Spaniards more than he would of the Native Americans. (This whole article was confusing and I just made sense of it what I could.)

I pity the Indians.

according to pedro Naranjo the rebellion started because the spaniards wanted to convert the indians into catholics, but the indians were refusing to. pope was and indian that was supposedly talking to the devil, and all they had to do was kill the spaniards. the spanirads left the kingdom and the indians were left alone.the wanted to live the way they did before. I believe that pedro Naranjo was no supporting the indians because, they doing everything on a violent way and he seemed to be on the spaniards side.

What I got from this article was that the revolt started because the Pope was talking to the devil. The devil told the indians to revolt like this. Pedro seems to be a very innocent person, his view of the revolt was that it was very violent and he didn't like it.
-Bianca Kranz
Pedro Naranjo believes the rebellion was because of the Indian sorcerers being contacted by the Devil. The main Indian sorcerer was Pope. I believe that it came down to the Spandards wanting to convert the Indian to Catholicism, which the Indians did not want.
I believe that Pedro Naranjo's view of the rebellion was that Indians went along with the rebellion (probably like most other Indians) because they were told if they did not, they would be killed or beheaded.
Ellen Scaccio
Pedro Naranjo says that the cause of the rebellion was that they wanted to be free from the labor they had performed for the religious and the spaniards and because they had always desired to live as they had when they came out of the lake of Copala.
His view of the rebellion is that the spaniards should always be on high alert because the indians were always planning to follow the spaniards and attack them in the night.
-Joanna D'Agostino
Pedro naranjo believes that the rebellion was started by the spanards. He said that the devil contacted the sorcerer Pope and the devil told Pope to rebel because the spanards were trying to convert the indians to catholism. If no one tried to force the indians to convert, the rebellion could have been advoided. I dont think Pedro supported the indians and i dont think he supported the spanards because he didnt seem to react to all the violence. I feel that Pedro believes the spanards threatened the indians which forced the indians to act violently toward the spanards. So it all goes back to the spanards because they were trying to be forced to do something they didint want to do.

Pedro Naranja said the rebellion was caused by an Indian sorcerer named poe, who spoke with the devil. the devil told him and the indians to attack the spaniards and so they did.
I don't know his view of the rebellion except that because of the Indian rebellion, Pedro now lives in fear because the Indians could attack the spaniards again.
-Maureen Johnsonbaugh
The rebellion started because the Spaniards wanted to convert the natives into Catholics. The natives refused to conform. Pope accused the natives of talking to the devil.They loved their previous lifestyle.Pedro is in support of the Spanish apparantly
Pedro Naranjo said that the revolt was started due to an Indian Sorcerer named Pope who had supposively been in contact with the devil. I believe Pedro somewhat supported this rebellion and the Spaniards because he said they had a reason for rebelling.
-Meghan DeSimone
The Indians did not want to share the same views as the spaniards. Pedro Naranjo tells how the Indians wanted a better life, to them the God of the Spaniards was worth nothing. For long the indians created pacts to rebel, some years later an indian named Pope was said to have communication with the devil. After this the indians killed religious spaniards, women and children, they burned down temples and crosses.
I think that Pedro Naranjo did not agree with the style of the rebellion and how they acted in violent ways, murdering children and burning crosses. I find that Pedro Naranjo seemed to side with the spaniards because of the harm that was done to them.

In the article Pedro naranjo said that the reason for rebelion was that the spanish tried to convert the indians to catholics and also because the indian sorcerers made them.
-Anthony Policastro
Pedro Naranjo's reason for the Indians revolting is because they didn't want to be converted by the Spaniards and they wanted to live their life the way they used to. I believe that Pedro Naranjo is on the side of the Spaniards because he doesn't seem to be involved with the Indians.
-Erica Kreusch
What I was able to take from this article is that Pedro Naranjo suggests the indian sorcerer Pope communicated with the devil and began a violent rebellion due to the fact that the Spaniards were attempting to convert the indians to catholicism.
- Phil Lucia
Pedro Naranjo believes the rebellion was caused by Indians trying to covert people to catholics. Also the Pope was tampered by the devil. He really disliked this rebellion because if everyone didnt go as planned they would be killed.
Chris Sorrentino
According to Pedro Naranjo the revolt was started for multiple reasons. The first was that the Indians resented the repeated attempts at converting them to Christianity, wanting to continue in their old customs. The second is the labor which they were doing for the Spaniards. The Pueblos wanted to live as they had before the Spaniards arrived, working for themselves and their own preservation and betterment.
It seems that he is on the Spaniards' side, not wanting to anger god, perhaps having converted to Christianity himself.
the rebellion was caused by the spaniards burning religious places and killing innocent indian women and children. the spaniards were also blaming the indians for sorcery. so the indians rebelled and became free from slavery, harsh punishments of the spanish. he viewed the rebellion as necessary but he is ashamed of killing many innocent people.
Pedro Naranjo believes that the rebellion started because of a sorcerer named Pope. Pope claimed that he was encountered by three demons and they told him to burn everything that was Christian. Pope then goes around and tells all the natives to kill Spaniard and burn all that was related to Christianity. He said that everyone liked life the way it was before the Spaniards came. Pedro Naranjo does not like the rebellion and has fear because of it. He believes that it offends God.

-Sarah Layer
According to Pedro Naranjo, he believes that the rebellion was started by the Spaniards wanting to convert the Indians to Catholicism. Also, the fact that the pope was talking to the devil, and the cord that was passed around the devil told the Indians that they must revolt. I think Pedro sided with the Spaniards because I think he thought it was cruel what the Indians were doing to them.
-Fareza Mohamed
Pedro Naranjo says that the Indian Sorcerers (especially Pope) were communicating with the devil and evil spirits. Naranjo and his people tried to convert these pagans to Catholics, but they refused. Pedro supported the spanish!
_Tony Balado
According to Pedro Naranjo, the reason they rebelled is because they wanted to live as they had in ancient times, "free from the labor they had performed for the religious and the Spaniards." The leader of the rebellion was an Indian named Pope. Pope claimed that he spoke to demons and they told him that he and his people would reap great benefits from this rebellion. The demons also called for them to destroy temples, crosses and any other image of Christian worship, and to kill those who opposed these acts.
Pedro said that he felt guilty and greatly fears that he offended God for participating in the Rebellion.
-Ryan Davis
Pedro Naranjo believes that revolt was caused by indians mostly the sorcerer named pope. i believe he thought that the rebellion is a waste and it seemed like the spanish would back up pedro and i believe he didn't fully understand what was going on.
Jesse Baldwin
Pedro narjano attributed the the Pueblo revolt to a vision of three indian mystics presenting themselves to a man named Pope. He said that the vision was in response to the harsh treatment of the indians by the spaniards and defined the Spanish religon to be an affront to theirs (referring to the spanish god as "rotten wood"). By the end of his testimony, however, he renounces his kind and weeps at the notion of offending God.
-phil grippi
Pedro Naranjo states that the reason for this rebellion was due to the Native American's desire to be free from the religious persecution of the Spaniards (Which forced the natives into becoming catholic) and to return to the free and natural state that they enjoyed in ancient times. His view of the rebellion favors the Spanish. He witnessed how the Natives killed holy people and burned holy items in a barbaric manner. At the end, Naranjo says that he fears in his heart that he may have offended God himself, but he is certain that he had described what had occurred in the most honest manner as possible.
The above comment left at October 6, 2011 11:17 PM is from Peter Romano. I apologize i forgot to mention my name.
According to Pedro Naranjo, the revolt was the result of the constant oppression of the Native Americans by the Spanish along with the heavy pressure to convert the Native Americans to Catholicism.
Pedro Naranjo's opinion of the revolt reflects those of his religious views. He had converted to Catholicism, and when the rebellion began he was horrified and did awaited the day that the Spanish would return, so that he could be redeemed and cleansed of the guilt he had.
-Louis Galasso
Pedro Naranjo said that a Indian sorcerer, El Pope was visited by three figures of Indians named Caudi, Tilini and Telume and they told him to create these knots which he would then pass to other pueblos and as a symbol of agreement they then untied them and continued it to other other tribe. once everyone has agreed they commenced the rebellion
Pedro's view of the rebellion was that of shock and disgust as he describes the types of actions taken by the indians
-Renne Bautista
Pedro Naranjo said that the rebellion was started since the government planned to rebel on certain conspiracies of the Indian sorcerers. These Indian sorcerers including Pope, were supposedly speaking to the devil. I believe that Pedro supports this revolt from what I got out of the reading because he says he supports them.
-Chris Gonzalez
The article explains that Pedro Naranjo is being asked by the Spanish court as to why the Pueblos revolted and what led to the revolt. Naranjo explains that the pueblos have wanted to rebel for a long time, but it wasn't until El Pope, who was believed to be a sorcerer came and spread his vision (of which Naranjo calls the devil)of the three demons. These Gods/demons which explain to Pope that if the Pueblos unite in revolt, they will once again aquire what they used to have and live "healthful and beautiful" lives. The Pueblos revolted and along with killing Spaniards and women, they burned Christian churches, crosses, etc. because they believed that the Christian God was an antagonist towards them and had never helped them in any way. And as Naranjo puts it: the revolt worked and they lived as they had before. However, Naranjo was repenting and hoping the Chritian God would not punish him.
-Michelle Cooney
Pedro Naranjo says that the devil had communications with the Indian named Pope. He supposedly threatened him and his people if they did not kill the Spaniards.
I think Pedro was on the Spanish side, however, he understood the fear invoked into the Indians to do this, and was also afraid himself.
-Brianna Arnold
According to Pedro Naranjo, the revolts began when the Spanish felt it was their duty to convert native americans to christianity. So the Spaniards moved around the western territories trying to do so. Then, an Indian "sorcerer" named Pope told the natives that if they didnt fight against the spanish they would be beheaded, so they went around and burned catholic towns. with such violence coming from the natives its no doubt why Naranjo sided with the Spanish -Donny Seuling
Pedro said that the cause of the rebellion was Indian Sorcerors, typically one named Pope, whom supposedly had spoken to the devil about the idea that the Spaniards were trying to convert the Indians to Christianity. The Indians wanted nothing mnore than to retain to their own lifestyle and customs.
His view of the rebellion was that it was very violent with many people and children being slaughtered. I would say he sided with the Spaniards because of the violent ways in which the Indians reacted. He says that the Spaniards should remain on high alert from the Indians.
What i can make from this article is that Pedro believes that the rebellion started because of the spaniards wanting to convert the people to catholicism and the pope had dealings with the Devil.
I think Pedro did not agree with the violent manner in which the rebellion was planned but did not agree with such violence in any sense.
-Adam Gumin
I found this article very confusing to read, but I think Pedro seems to be a very superstitious guy who will beleive anything he is told even in regards to the devil convincing people to do things. It seems as though his superiors told him that the native americans were working for the devil so he believed them and to him that justified the war.
His personal thoughts on the revolt is that now he has to live in fear of his own life.
-Rob Russell
Pedro Naranjo says that the rebellion was initiated by Indian sorcerers and lead by Pope, who was contacted by the devil and told Pope to kill Spaniards and destroy (burn all that is related to the Catholic religion.
His view of the rebellion was that the brutality would offend God, but sided with the Spaniards because of their suffering and the fact that they are Catholics, but he would live in fear of God because of the killings.
-Keith Lamoureux
I believe that Pedro Naranjo blames the start of the revolt on the Native Americans talking to the "devil" which in my opinion was just the Pope converting the them to Catholic. The Native American's refused this belief of Catholicism and wanted to kill off the Spaniards. The Spaniards did not seem to want to fight with the Native American's and therefore left them alone, but needed to be on "high alert" of an Indian attack due to the excessive violence they were bringing. I believe Pedro Naranjo is an innocent man who seemed to what nothing to do with violence, and would rather just keep the peace between the Spaniards and the Native American's.
The rebellion was because of the Devil contacting Indian sorcerers and the main Indian sorcerer was the Pope. This was all due to the fact that the Spaniards were trying to convert the Indians to the Catholic way of life.
