I was looking over the guidance from Porto synagogue on the granting of certificates of Jewish connection and was quite horrified to see the justification they are using there to exclude Brazilian descendants of Portuguese Jews. They justify this on the basis of Saraiva's biased and discredited work. It is apalling to see a Portuguese Jewish community referring to the victims of the Inquisition as "imagined Jews"http://jewishcommunityofoporto.blogspot.co.uk/2014/12/portuguese-nationality-for-sephardic.html
