Religion

[edit]

He was member of the Anglican Church of Hawaii.ref>"Anglican Church Synod". Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands. The Pacific Commercial Advertiser. October 16, 1880. Retrieved November 17, 2016 – via Chronicling America: Historic American Newspapers. Lib. of Congress.</ref

I removed this sentence. There is something problematic about this. Rosa went to a Catholic school and was buried with Catholic ceremonies. Also it would be more likely that he was a Catholic because of his Portuguese paternal heritage.--KAVEBEAR (talk) 21:45, 18 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Rosa also attended Royal School when it was ran by Anglican Reverend Alexander Mackintosh, but I don't think Royal School itself ever had a religious affiliation.--KAVEBEAR (talk) 18:59, 19 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Burial

[edit]

Also the newspaper accounts said he was buried at the Honolulu Catholic Cemetery while FindaGrave says he is buried at Oahu Cemetery instead. The only explanation I can explain is the monument at Oahu Cemetery is just a cenotaph. --KAVEBEAR (talk) 22:01, 18 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently, the Catholic cemetery is the one Find A Grave has listed as King St. Catholic Cemetery. There are only 4 Rosas listed there, one of which is Joseph. Glad you caught the contradiction between the newspaper listing his religion as Anglican. And the burial. Odd. — Maile (talk) 23:05, 18 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
