Abstract
This article studies the disjunctions between the narratives created around the first saint of the Americas, Santa Rosa de Lima (1586–1617). According to the Peruvian popular version, Rosa could speak to mosquitoes, whereas the Vatican version eschews mention of the insects. The fact that the first official biography, Vita mirabilis et mors pretiosa (1664), was written not by a German Dominican called Leonardus Hansen but by an elusive English Dominican, Vincent Torre, suggests that this text was part of the Popish Plot and constitutes a coded attempt to bring England back to the True Faith.
